Just a couple of scripts used to fix filenames on the linux/unix command line.

When my children were growing up I gave them two rules:

• Don't be rude
• NO spaces in filenames

These scripts will remove spaces and a bunch of unwanted character from filenames. I'm not sure why anyone would put ][${}!!@#%^&()+=|:;`"'<>?* in a filename but they do.

fnf -- (F)ile (N)ame (F)ix
Bash script to remove unwanted characters. It also support renaming of files based on patterns or the date. It does not support changing directory names.

fnp -- (F)ix (N)ames with (P)erl or (F)ix (N)ames (P)lease
Perl script to remove unwanted characters in filenames and optionally directory names. It optionally supports translating all dots/periods to underscores except for the one used in the filename extension. This program only works for file in the current directory. It does not handle recursive directory names, yet.
