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).
