Question

I highly doubt it is possible but thought I’d post and ask to confirm.

I have written a very small ruby script to bulk rename a folderful of files but I need to use Rail’s parameterize method on the filenames. I am not inside a rails project as I am running it from within the directory of files I wish to rename. I also do not wish to make this a fully blown rails app.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can achieve this?

This method is defined in ActiveSupport (part of Rails). You can use ActiveSupport outside of Rails. Just require the lib

require 'active_support/core_ext'

# now parameterize method should be available
