Does anyone know of a utility or easy command that can clean up crazy
characters in filenames? Ideally transliterate them to nearest UTF
equivalent, but even just replacing them with underscores is better than
nothing.
I know how to mass rename etc, but there are characters I can't decode
at all to even use in a command. I seem to remember something used to
exist to do this for files to be transferred to FAT drives, or vice versa...
Hmm now that I think about it I guess I could do something like
rename 's/^[a-z|0-9]/_/i' *
(which may also be wrong have not tested it yet). Anyways, would like a
better solution that could preserve more of the filename, or alternate
approaches.
Thanks,
Jeremy
