#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script sanitizes a given file or directory. Can take multiple files/dirs
# as argument.
# It replaces all whitespace and special characters with a dash, removes ?, !
# and various types of brackets entirely and translates all characters to
# lower case. Camel case is also translated to dashes.
# Basically, the goal is to have filenames with ONLY lower case and dashes.

# Behold the most disgusting regex ever
