Todd's Tiny Tools — Date Prefixer
A tiny CLI tool to parse dates from filenames and prefix in a sortable format.
Installation
Not yet published to npm. Clone this directory and run the following to test:
npm install
npm linkHow it works
This tool walks the directory and it's subfolders from where the tool is run. Each filename is parsed and dates are prefixed. Files who already start with 4 digits (simplistic assumption of year-first formatting) are skipped.
Date formats parsed
MMM DD YYYY, i.e. Jan 13 2020MMMM DD YYYY, i.e. Sept 3 2019YYYY-MM-DD, i.e. 2020-02-14
Prefixed format
Date strings are reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD format for simple chronological sorting.
