Rename files using regexp and Node.js

rename.js

var fs = require('fs'),
    path = require('path'),
    args = process.argv.slice(2),
    dir = args[0],
    match = RegExp(args[1], 'g'),
    replace = args[2],
    files;

files = fs.readdirSync(dir);

files.filter(function(file) {
  return file.match(match);
}).forEach(function(file) {
  var filePath = path.join(dir, file),
      newFilePath = path.join(dir, file.replace(match, replace));

  fs.renameSync(filePath, newFilePath);
});

// Usage
// node rename.js path/to/directory '\s' '-'

does the job! 👍
