qesp

Rust binary crate to remove characters of all files in a directory. It supports recursive walking through the tree.

Installation

You can build it with cargo. Just clone the repository and install it with cargo. For instance:

git clone https://github.com/carrascomj/qesp.git
cargo install --path qesp

But I don't want this cargo stuff...

Then download the perl script qesp and put in under your PATH. For instance:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carrascomj/qesp/master/benchmarks/qesp
mv qesp ~/.local/bin

Usage

CLI tool to remove annoying characters of names in a directory.
qesp [target_dir] [-r | --recursive]
    - target_dir: default '.';
    - -r, --recursive: recursively attempts to rename whole directory tree;
    - -h, --help: prints this usage text and exit.\n

"Annoying characters"

Space and parenthesis.
