hello

is there any tool that will rename files like pdf, word, etc based on their content text?

ie, if a specific match of a regex exists in the content of a pdf file, then rename the file with that match

thanks!

kalos:

Ath:
skwire is still busy I guess ;D ;D

i have often thought that a commandline utility that could take a pdf file, grab its title, author, and date and rename it to some combination of those, would be EXTREMELY useful.

I'd be going nuts trying to find that file I stored and it got renamed to something totally different :huh:
