 String Substition
-----------------
 
  String substitution is handy when you have files and directories
  that have a common set of characters in them you'd like to change.
  For instance::

For instance::
 
    tren -r .Jpeg=.jpg files.Jpeg
  tren -r .Jpeg=.jpg files.Jpeg
 
  would rename all files (or directories) whose names contained the string
  ``.Jpeg`` and replace it with ``.jpg``.  It's important to realize that
  such a substitution takes place *anywhere* in the filename, not just at
  the end or "extension" (as it is called in Windows).

  By default, only the first instance of the string is replaced in the

  of the old string with the new one.

  Ordinarily **tren** treats both the old string you specify with
  the ``-r`` option *literally*.  However, it is sometimes handy
  to be able to write a regular expression to specify what you
  want replaced.  If you specify the ``-x`` option, **tren** will
  treat your old string as a Python style regex, compile it (or
  try to anyway!) and use it to select which strings to replace.
  This makes it much easier to rename files that have repeated
  characters or patterns, and groups of files that have similar,
  but not idential strings in their names you'd like to replace.
