Installation

Koozali SME v10

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs detox

Description

The detox utility renames files to make them easier to work with. It removes spaces and other such annoyances. It'll also translate or cleanup Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) characters encoded in 8-bit ASCII, Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, and CGI escaped characters.

Usage

Detox is driven by a configurable series of filters, called a sequence. Sequences are covered in more detail in detoxrc(5) and are discoverable with the -L option. Some examples of default sequences are iso8859_1 and utf_8

Please read the man file for more information.

Examples

Will run the sequence iso8859_1 recursively, listing any changes, without changing anything, on the files of /tmp/new_files

detox -s iso8859_1 -r -v -n /tmp/new_files

Will list the sequences within my_detoxrc showing their filters and options.

detox -c my_detoxrc -L -v

From default rc file /etc/detoxrc we can see:

 sequence default {
    utf_8;
    safe;
    wipeup;
 };

Simple test:

mkdir -p /tmp/test
cd /tmp/test
touch "some file.txt"

Use verbose and dry-run mode:

detox --r -v -n /tmp/test

Scanning: /tmp/test
/tmp/test/some file.txt -> /tmp/test/some_file.txt

Removal

yum remove detox
