"GREPFileRename" is an AppleScript droplet that allows to use
GREP-Regular-Expressions to rename files drag-and-dropped on it. Therefore
it is far more powerful than most of the file renaming utilites currently
available.
Installation:
To enable "GREPFileRename" to do its magic, you have to have AppleScript
[1.1 or higher], the standard Apple Scripting Additions and a scriptable
Finder (i.e. "Finder 7.1.2" to 8.1 plus the "Finder Scripting Extension"
when running system 7) installed and the following third party Scripting
Additions must reside in your Scripting Additions Folder:
- "Jon's Commands" by Jon Pugh [1.8.1 or higher],
- "Choose From List" from GTQ Scripting Library 1.2 or higher,
- "This Application" from GTQ Scripting Library 1.2 or higher, and of course
- "Regular Expressions" from Script Tools 1.3.6 by Mark Alldritt [1.4.2 or
higher].
[ ] is the version the author used for testing
Place "GREPFileRename" anywhere on your harddrive.
Disclaimer:
Although I did everything to make this script as safe as possible, e.g.
error checking at all critical stages etc., I do not take responsibility
for any damage it may cause. Use it at your own risk.
