Bash Scripters

Anyone think of a shorter way of doing this?

it converts a directory of ttf and otf fonts to cufon (also removes capitals and spaces)

#!/bin/bash

for f in *.otf *.ttf; do 
php convert.php "$f" -u "U+??" > $(echo ${f%.*}.font.js | tr ' [A-Z]-' '_[a-z]_' | tr -s _);
done

or i could use shopt

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s extglob; 
for f in *.otf *.ttf; do 
out=${f%.*}.font.js out=${out,,} out=${out//+([[:blank:]-])/_}; php convert.php "$f" -u 'U+??' > "$out";
done

What's wrong with the way you are doing it?

nothing, did a test shopt runs faster then the latter.
