How to rename multiple files in Google Drive at once using a syntax? [closed]

Question

Does there exist a Google Apps Script that lets the user rename multiple files at once using a specific syntax? Like "delete part X from the filename Y of all files in folder Z" or "change strings like "one", "two", "three", ... to numbers like "1", "2", "3", ...".

For example, in the folder "Stories", all filenames may be be like "Book 1 Chapter 1 The Beginning", "Book 1 Chapter 2 A New Chapter", and I could want to remove the string "Book 1 ", so that all filenames will look like: "Chapter 1 The Beginning", "Chapter 2 A New Chapter".

I'd like the Script to have a Graphical User Interface with input fields, buttons, lists, etcetera so that I can manage all [the names of] my files using just one Script.

1. You can use the Bulk Renamer for Google Drive app
2. If you have that Google Drive folder synced to your computer, you can use Bulk Rename Utility on your local machine's copy of that folder.

BRU has more options/flexibility than Bulk Renamer, including regex support. Bulk Renamer's main advantage is that it works with Google Drive directly in the browser, without needing to wait for Google Drive to sync from your local machine.
