[Bug 1056205] Re: prename seems to choke on files containing parentheses

[vsespb]

Not a bug, IMHO.

$ rename --verbose s/\.part// *|egrep 'part$'
14-bloodbath-blasting_the_virginborn_(live_at_party_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part renamed as 14-bloodbath-blasting_the_virginborn_(live_aty_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part
15-bloodbath-bathe_in_blood_(live_at_party_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part renamed as 15-bloodbath-bathe_in_blood_(live_aty_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part
16-bloodbath-weak_aside_(live_at_party_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part renamed as 16-bloodbath-weak_aside_(live_aty_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part
17-bloodbath-so_you_die_(live_at_party_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part renamed as 17-bloodbath-so_you_die_(live_aty_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part
18-bloodbath-cry_my_name_(live_at_party_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part renamed as 18-bloodbath-cry_my_name_(live_aty_san_2008)-berc.mp3.part


All affected filenames contain "part" as part of name before ".part". And backslash in expression "s/\.part//" interpreted by shell, not by perl,
so resulting perl regexp is ".part" (which means any character + "part").

Quoting will help

Title:
  prename seems to choke on files containing parentheses

Status in “perl” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug is against the "rename" script in the perl package.
  see: man rename

  renaming multiple files containing parentheses.  Using the files attached, you should be able to reproduce.
  extract the archive,
  Do this: (generally the idea here is to remove the extension from the mp3 files)
  rename s/\.part// *

  you will notice that all files are not renamed.
  I expected all files to be renamed.
