'''
Command line script to organize the files created by the blackboard
assignment download zip *after* it is unzipped into the desired
*parent* directory. The assignment name is passed as a commandline
parameter, or the main method can be called directly with it as
parameter. The script moves assignmentName_user_filename to
assignmentName/user/filename  and converts assignmentName_username.txt
to assignmentName/user/HW-comments.txt (replace slash with backslash
in Windows).'''

Usage:  bbassign.py assignmentName
     Move all files in the current directory starting with a blank-converted
     assignmentName into directories assignmentName/user.
     It is called from the directory into which assignmentName.zip
     has been unzipped (from a Blackboard assignment).
     The files from the zip archive have the assignment name modified
     if it contained blanks:  the blanks are by replaced by underscores.
     This program makes that substitution automatically.  If there are
     several blanks in a row in the assignment name, I am not sure of the
     conversion algorithm:
     In that case check the prefix on all the zip file contents and make the
     program parameter be the actual assignment prefix used.""")
