# Utility to Rename a set of files in current dir using a .csv input file - portable and fairly simple
# REQUIRES: awk, column
# 2022.Dec Kingneutron

# HOWTO: 
# cd to dir you want to work on

# Populate a temporary file with bare filenames: (NOTE don't have to use ls, can use "find" or whatever)
# ls -1 >tmp.csv 	

# Preprocess tmp file and add comma + duplicate filename:
# awk '{print $1",\t"$1}' tmp.csv |column -t >rename.csv

# Edit tmp file and replace 2nd filename after comma with preferred filename
# IMPORTANT: Delete any lines that you DONT want renamed

# Then Run this script
