It allows users to filter files by extension, define a custom file naming format, and specify a starting number for file naming counters. This tool is particularly useful for organizing collections of files, such as photos or documents, by renaming them according to a consistent pattern.\n\n## Features\n- **Custom File Naming**: Specify a custom naming format for the files using placeholders.\n- **Extension Filtering**: Rename only files of a specific extension within the directory.\n- **Counter Start Point**: Begin the naming sequence from a custom starting number.\n- **Help Guide**: Access a help guide with usage instructions directly from the command line.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Prerequisites\n- .NET Runtime environment\n- Command line or terminal access\n\n### Running the Tool\n1. Open your command line or terminal.\n2. Navigate to the directory where the File Renamer Tool is located.\n3. Execute the tool using the following syntax:\n\n```shell\nFile_Renamer [options]\n--help, -h: Show the help message with usage instructions.\npath=YourFolderPath: Specify the folder path containing the files you wish to rename.\nextension=YourExtension: Specify the file extension of the files you wish to rename (default: .png).\nformat=YourFormat: Specify the file name format. Use {counter} as a placeholder for the numbering (default: {counter}).\nstart=YourStartNumber: Specify the starting number for the counter (default: 1).\n```\n\n### Examples\nRename .png files in the C:\\Users\\Example\\Pictures directory using the default naming format starting from 100:\n\n```shell\nFile_Renamer path=C:\\Users\\Example\\Pictures extension=png start=100\n```\n\nRename files in the C:\\Documents directory with a custom format and extension:\n\n```shell\nFile_Renamer path=C:\\Documents extension=txt format=Document_{counter} start=1\n```\n\n## Contributing\nContributions to the File Renamer Tool are welcome.
