19 I'm surprised that no one mentioned 'mmv', which I switched to from rename.
20 It has nice simple syntax, which is good for the _one thing that it
21 does_, which makes it nice and unixy.
22 All I've ever needed (I use python for anything more complex)
23 ? Single character match
24 * String match until next token
25 #1, #2 , #3 for first match, second match etc.
26
27 cd /data/Movies/TV_Series/
28 # for all series
29 mmv "*/*" "#1/#1-#2"
