Replace Spaces In Directory And File Paths With Dashes In Rust
I store the content for my site in plain - text files g:neo in my Grimoire g:grim . After years of avoiding them, I've started using spaces in the filenames. They're what I see when I search and they're easier to parse with spaces.
The same filenames are used for building the web pages but I *do not** want spaces there. I also don't want the uppercase letters that I also use in the raw filenames.
This is the little function I use to take care of all that for me.
use Regex;
A test run looks like this :
Features
-
lowercases all letters
-
replaces spaces with dashes
-
replaces multiple spaces with a single dash
It doesn't deal with anything else (like question marks) but I'm not using those. I'll setup for those in the future by clear listing letters and numbers and removing everything else.
Basic, but helpful.
You'll need to add the regex create with :
cargo add regex
