A simple script to rename all files in a folder, and create a simple CSV file in the same folder which serves as a "key" to match the original filename to the new, randomly-generated names. Suitable for blind analysis, such as in a laboratory setting. Almost certainly easier than trying to create an ImageJ plugin. =)
`blindrename.pl` is a simple Perl script to rename all files in a folder, and create a simple CSV file in the same folder which serves as a "key" to match the original filename to the new, randomly-generated names. This is suitable for blind analysis, such as in a laboratory setting. And it's almost certainly easier than trying to create or find an appropriate ImageJ plugin. =)

There are no prerequisites or dependencies beyond Perl itself: just download it, make sure it's executable, and run it. On Linux or BSD or Mac, you should already have Perl, and I'd recommend putting it in `/usr/local/bin` and `chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/blindrename.pl`, after which you can just type **blindrename.pl** ***foldername*** and it will obligingly do its thing. On Windows... well, do whatever you need to do to run a Perl script on Windows. (If you're a lost little scientist with only Windows: check out <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/" target="_blank">Cygwin</a> or <a href="http://www.activestate.com/activeperl" target="_blank">ActivePerl</a> for Windows implementations of Perl.)
