renamer

go install git.sr.ht/~mendelmaleh/renamer@latest

Rename files with patterns.

For example, have a downloaded youtube playlist, the format is long, messy, and it sorts by title:

air ~/d/y/atfc $ ls
ATFC： Advancing To Black Steel And Train Track Making Line (Episode 33) [Wzcg0Ys8AMI].webm
ATFC： Advancing To Steel Age (Episode 26) [ywlr8JwaZPM].webm
ATFC： Automatic Cow Milking Machine (Episode 28) [WJeowXn9dbc].webm
ATFC： Big Rotating Mining Machine (Episode 32) [x_IcGbwqRLM].webm
ATFC： Finally Getting A Lava Source Close To Base And Big Windmill (Episode 30) [fLbssYZk5OM].webm
ATFC： Getting Into Create Mod Trains (Episode 31) [D-GNsO4EdoQ].webm
ATFC： Making A Fancy Barn Door (Episode 29) [nQSXLCc2bpM].webm
ATFC： Progressing To The Final Metal Tier (Episode 34) [3bHakTp5Ilk].webm
ATFC： Raw Stone Mining Tunnel Bore (Episode 27) [cbmHifveUlA].webm
ATFC： Testing Powder Kegs And Finding Diamonds (Episode 35) [Lzo2CNckyx4].webm
ATFC： Whiskey Cobble Generator  (Episode 36) [4FqhD2LWflA].webm

Set the sorting and naming patterns, and see what the transformation would be. The sorting match group is put in the beginning of the filename, followed by a dash, and the naming match in snake case:

air ~/d/y/atfc $ renamer -sort 'Episode (\d+)' -name 'ATFC： (.+)\(' | sort
26-advancing_to_steel_age.webm <- ATFC： Advancing To Steel Age (Episode 26) [ywlr8JwaZPM].webm
27-raw_stone_mining_tunnel_bore.webm <- ATFC： Raw Stone Mining Tunnel Bore (Episode 27) [cbmHifveUlA].webm

To rename the files, rerun the command with -yes:

air ~/d/y/atfc $ renamer -sort 'Episode (\d+)' -name 'ATFC： (.+)\(' -yes
air ~/d/y/atfc $ ls
26-advancing_to_steel_age.webm                                        32-big_rotating_mining_machine.webm
