Rename Multiple Files Simultaneously With Ease

[@opposite342]

Hi. I wanted to add that, `rename` you're mentioned here (and what is commonly referred to in debian packages) is "perl rename". This is not the same with rename from the Util Linux package, which is the one shipped with Arch and Fedora. rename in Arch and Fedora doesn't have regex support by default. To achieve the same behavior with debian bases distro you need to install `perl-rename` on Arch and `prename` on Fedora respectively. Also why do you need mmv? Wouldn't `rename 's/foo/bar/g' *` works?

In the example here you could do `rename 's/^South_Park_//g' *` instead of using mmv

Thanks for the tip. I don't run Arch, but good to know. Think I'm just using MMV out of habit. Thank you for the additional command though... I'll have to try it out.
