✨ WPG2SVGBATCH.PL(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because wpg2svgbatch.pl is here to do the absolute most 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

wpg2svgbatch.pl — batch convert WordPerfect Graphics files into SVG, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, here's the vibe:

Usage: wpg2svgbatch.pl [-hruv] [-d dir] [-o dir]

wpg2svgbatch.pl uses wpg2svg to convert batches of WordPerfect word processor files (WPG) into Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). yes, a whole glow-up assembly line 🔥

the SVG files are generated anew and do not replace the original wpg files. your originals stay safe, they're the blueprint, the blueprint stays.

⚠️ heads up bestie: running wpg2svgbatch.pl more than once on the same directory will cause the existing SVG file to be replaced with a new one. it's giving "out with the old", so don't be surprised when it happens 😭

💖 the options, one by one

• -d <dir> — begins the conversion process in directory dir instead of the current directory. Use this switch separately from the other switches, like (-vr -d /home/robin), or at the end of a switch string, like (-rvd /home/robin). she's flexible like that 🫶
• -h — displays this help text. your little emergency exit when you're lost 🙈
• -o <dir> — causes all the generated SVG files to be deposited in this single specified output directory. When not used, the generated SVG files are deposited in the same directory in which the original WPG file was found. Use this switch separately from the other switches, like (-vr -o /home/robin). it's the "everybody into one folder" button 📁✨
• -r — converts files in either the current directory or the directory specified by the -d switch (see below) and all the wpg files in all the subdirectories. recursive queen behavior, she goes deep 👑
• -u — replaces spaces with underscores in the target filename(s). no more awkward gaps, just like_this_okay 🎀
• -v — Displays statistics and the progress of the conversion. live commentary, we love a narrator 💜
