qesp

Rust binary crate to remove characters of all files in a directory. It supports recursive walking through the tree.

Installation

You can build it with cargo from crates.io.

cargo install qesp

Installing from source

Just clone the repository and install it with cargo. For instance:

git clone https://github.com/carrascomj/qesp.git
cargo install --path qesp

But I don't want this cargo stuff...

Then download the perl script qesp and put in under your PATH. For instance:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carrascomj/qesp/master/benchmarks/qesp
mv qesp ~/.local/bin
