Detox Description

Free and open source utility that will clean up filenames Detox is a utility designed to clean up filenames.Detox replaces difficult to work with characters, such as spaces, with standard equivalents. It will also clean up filenames with Latin-1 or UTF-8 (or CP-1252) characters in them.NOTE: Detox is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License. Here are some key features of "Detox": · Removal or replacement of upper ASCII Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) 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. 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). What's New in This Release: · Modified the safe filter to use a translation table. · Modified the safe filter fallback (previous functionality) to operate without any special behavior. The wipeup filter now picks up where the safe filter left off. · Fixed the default permissions on install (files are 644 now). · Updated libpopt support to work on Linux under the PowerPC platform (chars are unsigned by default). · Included the generated lex and yacc files in the default package. · Added additional logic to allow files on case insensitive filesystems to have their case changed. · Added the ability to set locale specific translations in the translation tables. · Added German specific translations to the translation tables. · Added the ability to ignore specific files. · Fixed a bug where directories specified on the command line wouldn't get translated. · Added support for translating large files. · Added inline-detox for stream based detoxification.
