## Usage
```zsh
$ frs --help
USAGE:
frs [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <search-pattern> <replace-pattern> [base-path]
FLAGS:
-i, --case-insensetive
-c, --continue-on-error
-d, --directory Rename all matching directories. If no type is set, then everything will be renamed
-n, --dry-run This is the default and lets you run it without the actual operation
-f, --file Rename all matching files. If no type is set, then everything will be renamed
-h, --help Prints help information
-r, --run Actually running the rename operation. If you want to set this as default, set the
environment variable `FRS_DEFAULT_OP` to `RUN`
-s, --symlink Rename all matching symlinks. If no type is set, then everything will be renamed
-T, --traverse-tree This traverses the Directory Tree. If set, the renaming of directories will be disabled
by default, to prevent the renaming of a directory and its inner files
-V, --version Prints version information
-v, --verbose Set the verbosity. In a dry-run its automatically set to 1
OPTIONS:
-i, --icons <icons> [env: FRS_SHOW_ICONS=] [default: true]
ARGS:

<replace-pattern>
<base-path> [default: .]
```
### Example
```zsh
$ frs -f '([a-z]+)_(\d+)(\..+)' '${2}_${1}${3}' test_folder
test_folder/bar_02.png -> test_folder/02_bar.png
test_folder/foo_01.txt -> test_folder/01_foo.txt
```
## Installation
### Cargo
Please check, that you have a recent version of Rust installed.
```zsh
$ cargo install frs
```
## Setup
### Operation Mode
The default operation is to do a dry-run. To change this behavior, you have to set the `FRS_DEFAULT_OP` environment variable to `RUN`.
### Icons

frs is able to show [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) icons. If you don't use NF in your terminal you can disable it with the `--icons` option or with the `FRS_SHOW_ICONS` environment variable.
This can be done e.g. on ZSH by adding this line to your ~/.zshenv:
```zsh
export FRS_SHOW_ICONS=false
```
