public AbstractCopyTask rename(Closure closure)
```
    Renames a source file. The closure will be called with a single parameter, the name of the file. The closure should return a String object with a new target name. The closure may return null, in which case the original name will be used.
    
    Specified by:
    
    rename in interface CopyProcessingSpec
    
    Specified by:
    
    rename in interface CopySpec

```
public AbstractCopyTask rename(Transformer<String,String> renamer)
```

public AbstractCopyTask rename(String sourceRegEx,
                               String replaceWith)
```
    Renames files based on a regular expression. Uses java.util.regex type of regular expressions. Note that the replace string should use the '$1' syntax to refer to capture groups in the source regular expression. Files that do not match the source regular expression will be copied with the original name.
    Example:
```
 rename '(.*)_OEM_BLUE_(.*)', '$1$2'
 
```
    would map the file 'style_OEM_BLUE_.css' to 'style.css'

```
public AbstractCopyTask filter(Closure closure)
```
    Adds a content filter based on the provided closure. The Closure will be called with each line (stripped of line endings) and should return a String to replace the line or null to remove the line. If every line is removed, the result will be an empty file, not an absent one.
    
    Specified by:
    
    filter in interface ContentFilterable
    
    Specified by:

  - expand
```
public AbstractCopyTask expand(Map<String,?> properties)
```
    Expands property references in each file as it is copied. More specifically, each file is transformed using Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine. This means you can use simple property references, such as $property or ${property} in the file. You can also include arbitrary Groovy code in the file, such as ${version ?: 'unknown'} or ${classpath*.name.join(' ')}

    Specified by:
    
    eachFile in interface CopySpec
