I would like to create an Applescript application that will search a specified directory for a string of text, or illegal characters. The app will create a file with the path to the found text, the owner of the file, and the creation date.
I would also like to see statistics on how many "bad" files have been found, and who the common offenders are.
The reason this is being considered is because we have several people ignoring our naming conventions, and creating folders with a 'space' as the first character. While this works fine on Apple OS's, it creates problems with archiving and maintaining the same conventions across several facilities. I feel it has become necessary to document the offenders and inconsistencies in naming to solve our problem.
Do any applications like this exist already?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Best,
David
