Description:

Do you use the command line a lot? Are you tired of spaces and/or capitalization in your files that you have to waste precious keystrokes to put quotes around or hold the shift key? NoSpace might be for you!

I built this script as my final project for Harvard's CS50P, Introduction to Programming With Python.

Installation

---

TODO: publish to pypi and make installable

---

I want to make it operating system agnostic, so when you install it with pip, you can run it from the command line with calling the python executable directory. I'm not sure yet how to do this for Windows systems. I know for Unix systems, I would like it to move the executable to somewhere in the user path and the call to python is not required because of the #!/usr/bin/env python3 shebang at the beginning of the script. Any help with achieving this would be appreciated.

Usage

---

Personally, I made the script executable with chmod +x and moved it to /usr/local/bin/nospace so I can run it anywhere. Otherwise you have to move it to the directory you want to use it in and run it with python(or python3 on Ubuntu, or python or py on Windows).

example usage

nospace -p test_directory -c lower -d 1 -o files -s -

usage: nospace [-h] [-d DEPTH] [-c {lower,title,upper}] [-o {both,files,folders}] [-s SEPERATOR] [-p PATH]

rename files in bulk to remove spaces

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DEPTH, --depth DEPTH
                        maximum depth of folders to traverse
  -c {lower,title,upper}, --case {lower,title,upper}
                        case of the renamed files and folders (lower, title, or upper)
  -o {both,files,folders}, --objects {both,files,folders}
                        objects to process (files, folders, or both)
  -s SEPERATOR, --seperator SEPERATOR
                        separator to replace spaces with (default is _)
  -p PATH, --path PATH  optional file path to start with
