recursively changing chars in filenames

[Soren Orel]

Hi
I wrote a little script that removes spaces, dashes, and so on from the
filenames in a directory ($1), and lowercase all filename letters, etc.

how could I complete the script, that so it will "recursively" do the same
thing?


to start it: sh something.sh /home/user/somedir

cat something.sh

#!/bin/bash
cd $1
rename 's/_-_/-/g' *; rename 's/_/-/g' *; rename 's/ /-/g' *;
rename 's/á/a/g' *; rename 's/í/i/g' *; rename 's/ű/u/g' *; rename 's/ő/o/g'
*; rename 's/ü/u/g' *; rename 's/ö/o/g' *; rename 's/ú/u/g' *; rename
's/ó/o/g' *; rename 's/é/e/g' *;
rename 's/Á/a/g' *; rename 's/Í/i/g' *; rename 's/Ű/u/g' *; rename 's/Ő/o/g'
*; rename 's/Ü/u/g' *; rename 's/Ö/o/g' *; rename 's/Ú/u/g' *; rename
's/Ó/o/g' *; rename 's/É/e/g' *;
for i in *; do mv "$i" "`echo "$i" | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`"; done
rename 's/&/and/g' *; rename 's/\*/-/g' *; rename 's/\\/-/g' *; rename
's/\$/-/g' *; rename 's/\?//g' *;
rename 's/--/-/g' *; rename 's/---/-/g' *;


thank you!
