Currently any string that are not one of letters (a..z, A..Z), numbers (0..9), _ (underscore), - (dash), and ' ' spaces string are first squeezed into one string and then replaced by any given string/char [default to . (a single dot)]. Optionally, you could also - capitalized each word in the output - make each word in output lower case - use more than one character as the separator string if you prefer ### Installation ```sh gem install filename_cleaner ``` #### Use as command line interface (CLI) Just type `filename_cleaner` without any options to see the list of help ``` Usage: filename_cleaner Options: -b, [--base-dir=BASE_DIR] # Base directory # Default: .
