detox command - ignore double dashes

Post by dormantgp »

Can I use the detox command to change file names, but tell it not to change any double-dashes in the filename?

I think it can be done in ~/detoxrc, but I can't get my head around the syntax.

Hoping this time I correctly understood that both dashes are consecutive :wink: ,
wouldn't the detox command accept a piping through :

Code: Select all

find . -type f ! -name '*--*'
