In the world of professional computing GNU/Linux rules hands down.

But in the world of idiots Microshit Winblows is lord and master,
and the GNU/Linux user very often has to deal with the various
outrageous concoctions produced by these idiots and their idiotic
OS.

One such outrageous concoction is the M$ filename, which
usually includes lots of spaces, punctuation marks, and other
characters (even quote characters!) that SHOULD NEVER be in
a filename.

To automatically clean up these outrageous file names
I routinely use sanity.pl:

https://github.com/splitbrain/sanity

There is also detox:

https://github.com/dharple/detox

But detox needs a lot of configuration whereas sanity.pl
just does the job without configuration.
