All hands to battle stations, rename at will!

Rename a string in CamelCase, lowerCamelCase, snake_case and ALL_CAPS in code and filenames in one go.

Example

Say you've got a cool hex_clock.cpp:

#ifndef _HEX_CLOCK_H
#define _HEX_CLOCK_H

class HexClock
{
    int hex_clock();

    private:
    int hex_clock_;
};

#endif

Cute! And now.. rename at will!

rename.py hex_clock hacker_clock

Meet the new shiny hacker_clock.h:

#ifndef _HACKER_CLOCK_H
#define _HACKER_CLOCK_H


class HackerClock
{
    int hacker_clock();

    private:
    int hacker_clock_;
};

#endif

What it knows to do

rename is like a search/replace engine on steroids, it takes a string to search for, converts it to all possible cases (CamelCase, lowerCamelCase, snake_case and ALL_CAPS), and performs a search/replace with the corresponding case version of the destination string.

For example, rename.py hex_clock hacker_clock above, does the following substitutions in text files:

hex_clock --> hacker_clock HexClock --> HackerClock hexClock --> hackerClock HEX_CLOCK --> HACKER_CLOCK

Also, by default, the file hex_clock.h is renamed to hacker_clock.h, file rename can be disabled with -f flag, see Usage below.

Install

Simply install it with PIP:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/dkrikun/rename.git#egg=rename

Usage

usage: rename.py [-h] [--version] [-w] [--almost-word] [-n] [-d] [-f] [-a]
                 [-V] [-q]
                 SOURCE DEST PATTERN [PATTERN ...]

Rename a string in CamelCase, lowerCamelCase, snake_case and ALL_CAPS in one go

positional arguments:
  SOURCE           source string to be renamed
  DEST             string to replace with
  PATTERN          shell-like file name patterns to process

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --version        show program's version number and exit
  -w, --word       force SOURCE to match only whole words
  --almost-word    like -w, but also allow for any number of surrounding
                   underscores
  -d, --diff       shows diff instead of modifying files inplace
  -f, --text-only  only perform search/replace in file contents, do not rename
                   any files
  -V, --verbose    be verbose
  -q, --silent     be silent
