Dry-run doesn't output anything #16

Closed Alphapage closed 8 years ago

Alphapage commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to use renamer without success. So, I tried with dry-run option, but it doesn't report anything like:

Is there a way to verbose the output to know what it is doing ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

75lb commented 8 years ago

have you tried the --verbose option?

I removed '' and it seems to be better. I'm trying to rename extension like this without success:

renamer --find .v1.mp4 --replace .v5.mp4 lib/test --verbose

Could you help me a little more ?

you only passed one file to that command (lib/test).. you need to pass all the files/folders you wish to inspect for renaming.. try this:

renamer --find .v1.mp4 --replace .v5.mp4 'lib/test/**/*.mp4' --verbose --dry-run

take care, always start with --dry-run.. major damage could be done if you get your commadn wrong..

renamer --find .v1.mp4 --replace .v5.mp4 lib/test/**/*.mp4 --verbose --dry-run

It seems to hate '' on windows!

Thank you very much. It is working now. +1
