Number evidences in a folder.

Number Evidences

The pupose of this script is to rename files (typically evidences) based on some options provided in the command-line.

For example, file1.txt, file2.txt could turn into E-01_file1.txt, E-02_file2.txt and so on.

See the example options below!

These are the options:

• -p (--prefix): Will be the prefix before the numbers (e.g. 'E-')
• -c (--currhighest): If there are already existing files and you want to start the numbering from a higher number, you write the highest number.
• -v (--verbose): Will give you verbose output in the terminal.

$ ls 
README.md		evidences		numberEvidences.py	tmp

$ ls evidences/
file1.txt	file2.txt

$ python3 numberEvidences.py --help

usage: numberEvidences.py [-h] [-p PREFIX] [-c CURRENTHIGHEST] [-v]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX
                        The prefix to be used -- e.g. E-
  -c CURRENTHIGHEST, --currhighest CURRENTHIGHEST
                        The currently highest number.
  -v, --verbose         Verbose output
