=comment Synchronize filename cases for extensions. This script could be used to perform following renaming: if there exist file, for example, "FiLeNaME.c" and filename.obj then it renames "filename.obj" to "FiLeNaME.obj". There is a problem when some compilers (e.g.Borland) generate such .obj files and then "make" process will not treat them as dependant and already maked files. This script takes two arguments - first and second extensions to synchronize filename cases with. There may be specified following options: --verbose <== say everything what is going on --recurse <== recurse subdirectories --dummy <== do not perform actual renaming --say-subdir Every such option can be specified with an optional "no" prefix to negate it. Typically, it is invoked as: perl sync_ext.pl c obj --verbose =cut use strict; my ($ext1, $ext2) = map {quotemeta} grep {!/^--/} @ARGV; my %opts = ( #defaults 'verbose' => 0, 'recurse' => 1, 'dummy' => 0, 'say-subdir' => 0, #options itself (map {/^--([\-_\w]+)=(.*)$/} @ARGV), # --opt=smth (map {/^no-?(.*)$/i?($1=>0):($_=>1)} map {/^--([\-_\w]+)$/} @ARGV), # --opt --no-opt --noopt ); my $sp = ''; sub xx { opendir DIR, '.'; my @t = readdir DIR; my @f = map {/^(.*)\.$ext1$/i} @t; my %f = map {lc($_)=>$_} map {/^(.*)\.$ext2$/i} @t; for (@f) { my $lc = lc($_); if (exists $f{$lc} and $f{$lc} ne $_) { print STDERR "$sp$f{$lc}.$ext2 <==> $_.$ext1\n" if $opts{verbose}; if ($opts{dummy}) { print STDERR "ren $f{$lc}.$ext2 $_.$ext2\n"; } else { system "ren $f{$lc}.$ext2 $_.$ext2"; } } } if ($opts{recurse}) { for (grep {-d&&!/^\.\.?$/} @t) { print STDERR "$sp\\$_\n" if $opts{'say-subdir'}; $sp .= ' '; chdir $_ or die; xx(); chdir ".." or die; chop $sp; } } } xx();
