Space Replace
Especially when using Linux, filenames should never have spaces in them.
However many of my thousands of music files used to have spaces all over the place.
So I decided to write this program.
It will convert every occurrence of a character to a different character.
The obvious use is to convert ' ' (space) into '_' (underscore) however you may want to use it to do the opposite, and turn underscores into spaces.Downloads
Usage usage: sr [-r='_'] [-s=' '] filenameReplace Character
-s=' 'Source Character: the ' ' (space) character can be replaced with a source character of your choice. ' ' is the default source character -r='_'Destination Character: the _ (underscore) character can be replaced with a character of your choice. _ is the default replaced character Examples
sr "Various Artists"*.mp3renames all files that start with "Various Artists" and end with ".mp3", Various_Artists*.mp3 sr -r='Z' -s='T' bar.Testrenames "bar.Test" "bar.Zest" sr -s='T' -r='Z' bar.Testrenames "bar.Test" "bar.Zest" sr *renames all files (in the current directory) with spaces, to files with underscores If you like this program please send a message. Known Bugs Using * does not expand to a list of files matching the regular expression in MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows. This is because the Microsoft command prompt sends the character "*" instead of expanding to a list of files. Therefore this utility will only work in the Microsoft platform by specifically naming each file you want to alter. For example "url_to_text *.mp3" will try to find the file "*.mp3" not any file that ends with ".mp3". This is not an issue when using a modern shell like csh or bash under Linux or Windows.
