Copyright Fixer

Fix copyrights for a specific folder. If there is already a copyright statement on the file, this script will remove all comments from the start of the file/copyright notice all the way to the end of the file/start of code (no comments)!

Requirements

The python script requires Python 3.0 or higher.

Run

The command-line parameters to run the fixCopyright.py scripts are as follow: <0=TCL, 1=C++, 2=ALLfiles> <recursiveTrue?>

python3 fixCopyright  [path_to_check]
                      [file_types]
                      [recursive_flag]

• path_to_check Requires a valid path to the root folder that you want to be check.
• file_types Defines if you want to treat TCL files (0) C++ files (1) or both (2).
• recursive_flag Sets wheather or not folders are checked recursively.

An example of how to use the command is found below:

python3 fixCopyright home/myFolder 2 1

You can also modify the cpp_copyright_block.txt or tcl_copyright_block.txt file to change the copyright format (currently BSD 3).
