Revision 2. </p> <p>"Slugify" a string so it is ascii, has only alphanumeric and hyphen characters. Useful for URLs and filenames. This is heavily based on the slugify in Django.</p> <p>Note: presumes that you've <code>import re</code>d higher up in your module.</p>

Revision 9. </p> <p>When dealing with windows paths on a *nix system sometimes youll need to resolve case insensitive paths. While using a fat filesystem or making everything lowercase would work. this function means you can get python to take a case insensitive path and return the path with the correct case (if it exists).</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>"Slugify" a string so it has only alphanumeric and hyphen characters. Useful for URLs and filenames. This is a JavaScript (node.js too) version of <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577257/">Recipe 577257</a>.</p> <p>Note: It is missing the guarantee that only ascii characters are passed through. I don't know an NFKD equivalent in JavaScript-land.</p>

Kind of like the Unix "which" utility, but works for DLLs and other files as well.</p> <p>Usage: findinpath.py filename</p>
