File Renaming Utility Tool

I created this console app for my brother Alaa Amari as per his request since he is a video editor and found himself wasting precious time on renaming his files. so I AUTOMATED the process.

Commands

  1. Beautify mp4 file name:
    This asks for a folder path and then renames all mp4 files using his criterias:
    • Transform all letter to lower case
    • Remove consecutive whitespaces (keep one)
    • Replace all the left whitespaces with a hyphen -
    • Transfrom all é and è to e and à to a
      Example: 'Great VIDEO àààà.mp4' -> becomes 'great-video-aaaa.mp4'
  2. Add date to file names
    This asks for a folder path and then adds the current date to all mp4 files.
    Date format: _yyyymmdd
    Example: 'great-video-aaaa.mp4' -> becomes 'great-video-aaaa_20210814.mp4' (I'm writing this in 14/08/201)
  3. Remove date from file names (reverse [2])
    In case he used the second command he can reverse it's effect. This asks for a folder path and then deletes the date from all file names (Simply deletes the last 9 characters)
    Example: 'great-video-aaaa_20210814.mp4' -> becomes 'great-video-aaaa.mp4' (I'm writing this in 14/08/201)
