I'm surprised that no one mentioned 'mmv', which I switched to from rename.
It has nice simple syntax, which is good for the _one thing that it
does_, which makes it nice and unixy.
All I've ever needed (I use python for anything more complex)
? Single character match
* String match until next token
#1, #2 , #3 for first match, second match etc.
cd /data/Movies/TV_Series/
# for all series
mmv "*/*" "#1/#1-#2"
