const [dir, search, replace] = process.argv.slice(2);
const match = RegExp(search, 'g');
const files = readdirSync(dir);

files
  .filter(file => file.match(match))
  .forEach(file => {
    const filePath = join(dir, file);
    const newFilePath = join(dir, file.replace(match, replace));

    renameSync(filePath, newFilePath);
  });
