CleanFilenames

Convert file name paths to clean paths by converting high-byte and double-byte characters, spaces, capitals, non-alpha-nums, etc, to lowercase alphanums and hyphens.

Example:

Mary\ Jane\ Lamond/Làn\ Dùil/01\ A\ Mhàiri\ Bhòidheach.mp3

would be converted to:

mary-jane-lamond/lan-duil/01-a-mhairi-bhoidheach.mp3

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'clean_filenames'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install clean_filenames

Usage

clean_filenames --ignore-levels=n PATH_NAME

where:

  • ignore-levels is the number of directories in the beginning of PATH_NAME to ignore in conversion.

For example:

    clean_filenames --ignore-levels=3 /media/MyAndroidPhone/Music/Mary\ Jane\ Lamond/Làn\ Dùil/01\ A\ Mhàiri\ Bhòidheach.mp3

would produce:

    /media/MyAndroidPhone/Music/mary-jane-lamond/lan-duil/01-a-mhairi-bhoidheach.mp3
