namefix-cli will do what you want, Id be interested to hear your feedback on it as well .

I think you will appreciate the –html option.

namefix.pl is one of the original batch renamers for linux, I have been supporting it since I started writing it back in 2000 . More features than most and I am always happy to add any new ones.

Sigh. It’s true. I try to push applications over command-line wizardry, mostly because the stereotype says there’s nothing functional beyond the GUI. But I suppose if I want to get into some of these niche areas, I’m either going to have to learn some kung-fu or start coding things myself. Neither of which is a particularly attractive proposition. …

i think mmv is a pretty neat tool, and might do at least part of what you need.

I have a feeling that for your continued success and happiness at the command line, you’re going to have to break down and learn BASH at some point.
