converted old daimyo content

I spent the morning dumping the Drupal database that used to power this website. Since it was such an old version of Drupal, the existing drupal2hugo converter did not work, so I wrote my own.

Be warned now that it’s a hack, and will probably delete all your data. That said, I’ve included it here for anyone who may be Googling in the future.

def file_guess(title):
    title = title.replace(' ', '-')
    title = title.replace('.', '-')
    title = title.replace('?', '')
    title = title.replace('"', '')
    title = title.replace('%', 'percent')
    title = title.replace('&', 'percent')
    title = title.replace('$', '')
    title = title.replace('/', '')
    title = title.replace('>', '')
    title = title.replace('<', '')
    title = title.replace(',', '')
    title = title.replace("'", '')
    title = title.replace(":", '')

    if title[-1] == '-':
        title = title[:-1]

    title = re.sub('-+\(.*\)$', '', title)
    title = re.sub('-{2,}', '-', title)
    title = re.sub('-\(.*$', '', title)
    title = re.sub('\([r|R]\)', '', title)

    title = title.lower()
    title = title + '.md'
