Find files with illegal windows characters in the name on Linux

问题

I have a projects on my Linux box that contains file with characters that are considered illegal/reserved in Windows (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx). The project has over 10,000 files across several folders and I'll to identify the path for these files.

I can find . -name "*\?*" for each of the illegal/reserved characters, but is there an easier way to find all files that contain < > : " / \ | ? *

Once I've identified, I would like to remove all such characters from each of these files.

回答1:

This find one-liner should work for you:

find . -name "*[<>:\\|?*]*" -exec bash -c 'x="{}"; y="$(sed "s/[<>:\\|?*]\+/-/g" <<< "$x")" && mv "$x" "$y" ' \;

回答2:

fnmatch pattern allow you to specify that characters in [] as follow:

find . -name '*[<>:/\\|?*]*'

回答3:

Neither of the answers above finds files or directories that ended in either space (' ') or period/dot ('.') which are also not visible with Win32 API.

Adding to .e.g @falsetru's answer, one could do

find . -name '*[<>:/\\|?*]*' -o -name '*[ \.]'
