5 # Subject: GNU Bash Script to fix filenames
6 # Date: 28 Mar 1996 14:54:43 -0800
7 # Organization: Computer Science, University of B.C., Vancouver, B.C., Canada
9 #This is a script which takes a list of directories, descends through each one
10 #and ``corrects'' filenames that:
12 # - contain filename globbing characters: * ? [ ]
13 # - quote characters: ' "
14 # - control characters: 0-31 (127 is not dealt with---oops)
15 # - - or + as the first character
17 # The GNU version of 'tr' is required. Also requires 'sed'.
19 # Script to process a given list of directories recursively
20 # and rename each file to something that is reasonable.
24 # 1. replace each space, [, ], *, ", and ' character in the name with a
26 # 2. replace each control character 1..31 with a printable character obtained
27 # by adding 64 to the ascii value. ^A becomes A, ^B becomes B and so on.
28 # 3. replace a - or + occuring at the beginning of the name with a #
30 # 4. if the resulting name has been changed in any way, then
31 # 5. if a file of the new name already exists, then
32 # 6. add a . to the new name and goto step 5.
33 # 7. rename the old name to the new name
35 # written by Kaz Kylheku <kaz@cafe.net>
39 # requires GNU 'bash', GNU 'tr', and some sort of 'sed' program.
41 # minimal conversion to bash v2 syntax done by Chet Ramey
