| 19:25 | < abudhabi> | What's a good *nix utility to track down every file that has a name that would be illegal on Windows? |
| 20:14 | < Emmy> | abudhabi, maybe this might provide some inspiration? https://www.makeuseof.com/batch-rename-files-in-linux/ |
| 20:43 | <@gnolam> | Feels like the kind of thing where it'll take longer to find a tool that does what you want than hack together 10-15 lines of Python to do it the way you want it. |

| 21:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | abudhabi: find <dir> -regextype egrep \( -regex '[<>:"\\|?*]' -or -regex '.*/(CON|PRN|AUX|NUL|COM[0-9]|LPT[0-9])$' \) |
| 21:20 | <&ToxicFrog> | If you want to search the whole system, and you have `locate` installed, and you know the locatedb is sufficiently fresh, you can do it faster with with either a locate that supports regexes or by piping it through grep. |
| 21:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | In either case, if you want to do something with the files afterwards, you can slap a -print0 on the end (find) or -0 (locate) and then pipe it through xargs -0 to process everything. |
| 21:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | (or just use find's -exec option) |
| 21:21 | < abudhabi> | Just a subfolder, yeah, no need for / |
| 21:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | Oh, whoops, pasted the wrong iteration of the find command |
| 21:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | find . -regextype egrep \( -regex '.*/[^/]*[<>:"\\|?][^/]*$' -or -regex '.*/(CON|PRN|AUX|NUL|COM[0-9]|LPT[0-9])$' \) |
| 21:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | abudhabi: ^ |
| 21:22 | <&ToxicFrog> | (-regex is less ergonomic than -name and it really wants a -leafregex or similar, oh well) |
| 21:23 | <&ToxicFrog> | But yeah, first regex matches all paths where the leaf name contains at least one of <>:"\|? (leaf only so that if you have a bad directory, it lists only the directory itself and not every file inside it), second regex matches paths where the name is exactly one of the forbidden names. |
| 21:24 | <&ToxicFrog> | find . -regextype egrep \( -regex '.*/[^/]*[<>:"\\|?*][^/]*$' -or -regex '.*/(CON|PRN|AUX|NUL|COM[0-9]|LPT[0-9])$' \) |
| 21:24 | <&ToxicFrog> | Forgot * from the first regex. |
| 21:24 | <&ToxicFrog> | (we can omit / because that's already forbidden on linux too) |
| 21:25 | < abudhabi> | Works. |
| 21:28 | | * abudhabi begins dealing with the files. |
| 21:28 | < abudhabi> | Might as well make some "old crap I haven't touched in ages" archives. |
| 21:28 | < abudhabi> | Solves the filename issue instantly. |
| 21:42 | <@gnolam> | You also need to check for lowercase duplicates. |
| 21:46 | < abudhabi> | No complaints about that that I can see as yet. |
| 21:58 | < abudhabi> | Found some! |
| 21:58 | < abudhabi> | Thanks. |
| 22:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | Oh right, second one should have been -iregex |
| 22:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | Forgot that windows is case insensitive |
