[REQUEST] detox, txt2regex, sprog

I have to work a lot with 1000s of textfiles with different tools, so I used to use detox and txt2regex back my good - now more better - old Gentoo days. I miss them sooo much.
I'm also interested in sprog, read about that on perl.com.
These are the links:
http://detox.sourceforge.net/
http://txt2regex.sourceforge.net/
http://sprog.sourceforge.net/
Thx for any help ...

Detox is unnecessary... Just use quotation marks for files with nonstandard names when you're working from the command line. Then again, I suppose it could come in handy if you're working with very large numbers of files/directories with nonstandard names.

How about posting the PKGBUILD in the AUR? If you're going to make the package available you might as well do the same with the PKGBUILD.

Thx Man.
And I really needed it, sometimes working on 1000's of files with accents in their names and spaces, and so on...

Ah... Accents... I forgot about those completely.

Yep, I can see why it's useful now... :shock:
