Very interesting piece of code here. Essentially this will take all .php files, and change their extensions to a .sphp file extension. Then it will replace all instances of ".php" in the files, and replace them with ".sphp" for purposes of linking, and inclusion. Very neat script.

RUBY:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'find'
require 'fileutils'
# Used to go through, starting at the directory start_dir and working
# recursively, and rename all files that end in .php to end in .sphp
# because the CS admin got a wild hair. Also goes through all .php
# and .sphp files and replaces all instances of ".php" in them with
# ".sphp".
def finder( start_dir )
Find.find( start_dir ) do |path|
if FileTest.file?( path )
if path =~ /\.php$/i
old_name = File.basename( path )
new_name = old_name.gsub( /\.php$/, '.sphp' )
dir = path.gsub( /#{old_name}$/, '' )
if File.exists?( dir + old_name )
puts "#{dir + old_name} to #{dir + new_name}\n"
# Since the code is part of a Subversion repository, we use
# the 'svn' command to let Subversion rename the file
system( "svn mv #{dir + old_name} #{dir + new_name}" )
end
elsif path =~ /\.sphp$/i || path =~ /\.php$/i
puts "Replacing instances of '.php' in #{path}\n"
system( %Q{ruby -pe 'gsub(/\\.php/, ".sphp")' -i #{path} } )
end
end
end
end
finder( '.' )
