- # Newsgroups: comp.unix.shell,comp.os.linux.misc
- # Subject: GNU Bash Script to fix filenames
- # Date: 28 Mar 1996 14:54:43 -0800
- # Organization: Computer Science, University of B.C., Vancouver, B.C., Canada
- #
- #This is a script which takes a list of directories, descends through each one
- #and ``corrects'' filenames that:
- #
- # - contain filename globbing characters: * ? [ ]
- # - quote characters: ' "
- # - control characters: 0-31 (127 is not dealt with---oops)
- # - - or + as the first character
- #
- # The GNU version of 'tr' is required. Also requires 'sed'.
- #
- # Script to process a given list of directories recursively
- # and rename each file to something that is reasonable.
- #
- # The rules are:
- #
- # 1. replace each space, [, ], *, ", and ' character in the name with a
- # period.
- # 2. replace each control character 1..31 with a printable character obtained
- # by adding 64 to the ascii value. ^A becomes A, ^B becomes B and so on.
- # 3. replace a - or + occuring at the beginning of the name with a #
- #
- # 4. if the resulting name has been changed in any way, then
- # 5. if a file of the new name already exists, then
- # 6. add a . to the new name and goto step 5.
- # 7. rename the old name to the new name
