I've come across a number of sites that now include #hashtag text in the filenames. I don't want those, as they tend to make the pathname excessively long.

I raised the question on this thread.

I wrote this script to strip them out. It's called via Event Scripter using a Packagizer Hook:

if (linkcheckDone) {

    var myPackagizerLink = link;
    var fileName = myPackagizerLink.getName();
    var re, ext, newName;

    if (fileName !== null && fileName.includes("#")) {

        ext = fileName.slice((fileName.lastIndexOf(".") - 1 >>> 0) + 2);
        if (ext !== "") {
            ext = "." + ext.toLowerCase();
        }

        fileName = fileName.substr(0, (fileName.length - ext.length));

        rgx = new RegExp("#[a-zA-Z0-9_]+", "gi");
        newName = fileName.replace(rgx, "");

        rgx = new RegExp("\\s\\s+", "gi");
        newName = newName.replace(rgx, " ");

        newName = newName.trim();

        myPackagizerLink.setName(newName + ext);
    }
}

I'd welcome suggestions on improving it, or accomplishing the goal in another manner.
