Revision 24.
</p>
<p>This script recursively scans a given path and applies a cleaning 'action'
to matching files and folders. By default files and folders matching the
specified (.endswith) patterns are deleted. Alternatively, _quoted_ glob
patterns can used with the '-g' or '--glob' option.</p>
<p>By design, the script lists targets and asks permission before applying
cleaning actions. It should be easy to extend this script with further
actions and also more intelligent pattern matching functions.</p>
<p>The getch (single key confirmation) functionality comes courtesy of
<a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892/</a></p>
<p>To use it, place the script in your path and call it something like 'clean':</p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code>Usage: clean [options] patterns
deletes files/folder patterns:
clean .svn .pyc
clean -p /tmp/folder .svn .csv .bzr .pyc
clean -g "*.pyc"
clean -ng "*.py"
converts line endings from windows to unix:
clean -e .py
clean -e -p /tmp/folder .py
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PATH, --path=PATH set path
-n, --negated clean everything except specified patterns
-e, --endings clean line endings
-g, --glob clean with glob patterns
-v, --verbose
</code></pre>
Clean a .py file full of constant chr(x) calls (Python)

(<a href="/recipes/tags/chr/">chr</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cleaner/">cleaner</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/cleaning/">cleaning</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/regex/">regex</a>).
</p>
<p>This script identifies every chr(xx) call in a script (being xx an integer) and replaces it with a constant byte string. For example: print chr(13) + chr(255) in the input .py file gets translated into '\n' + '\xff' on the output .py file, not breaking the input program, and maybe speeding it a little.</p>
