Rr Renamer

Other

Use RenameRegex (RR.exe) as a generic Windows CLI bulk renamer from OpenClaw. Use when you need regex search/replace renames with preview (/p pretend), recursive renames (/r), files/dirs selection, and a safe preview→apply workflow. This skill provides a thin wrapper and logging; it does NOT define any specific normalization rules.

RR (RenameRegex) generic runner

Assumptions

  • RR.exe (RenameRegex) is available on PATH from the environment that runs the command.
    • User stated it is placed in ~/.local/bin.
  • Prefer running via Windows PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe) so Windows path semantics are authoritative.

Safety defaults

  • Always run pretend preview first (/p).
  • Only run apply after explicit user approval in the chat.
  • Never use /f (force overwrite) unless the user explicitly asks.
  • Log every invocation.

How to use

Use the bundled script to run RR.exe inside a chosen root folder.

  • Preview:
    • provide RR arguments, script adds /p automatically
  • Apply:
    • provide RR arguments, script runs without /p

Regex argument quoting (PowerShell)

When calling from PowerShell, pass regex arguments like \s+ as a single backslash string. Recommended: use single quotes to avoid accidental escaping:

  • @('*', '\s+', '_', '/r', '/e')
