Detox is a utility designed to clean up filenames. It replaces
|
|
difficult to work with characters, such as spaces, with standard
|
|
equivalents. It will also clean up filenames with UTF-8 or Latin-1
|
|
(or CP-1252) characters in them. Some features include:
|
|
|
|
* Removal or replacement of upper ASCII Latin-1 (ISO8859-1)
|
|
characters (i.e. left facing and right facing double quotes).
|
|
Whenever possible a replacement character will be used (i.e. an
|
|
"A" will take the place of an "A" with an accent mark over it).
|
|
* Removal or replacement of UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters.
|
|
This operates along the same line as the ISO 8859-1 translation,
|
|
except the scope of Unicode is much larger
|
|
* Removal or replacement of spaces and other potentially tricky
|
|
characters, such as (, ), and @. Removal of any "-"s at the
|
|
beginning of the filename
|
|
* Removal or replacement of CGI escaped ASCII characters, i.e.
|
|
%20 becomes " " (which then becomes "_").
|
|
* Trimming of excessive "_" and "-"s.
|
|
* Directory recursion, dry runs, verbose listings.
|
|
* It's designed with safety in mind. It won't overwrite to a
|
|
file that already exists, and it doesn't touch special files
|
|
normally (but it can be asked to).
|
|
|
|
Global configuration is in /etc/detoxrc, user-specific configuration
|
|
can be specified in ~/.detoxrc. A sample configuration file is
|
|
provided (/etc/detoxrc.sample).
