Example 14: Substitute space with underscore in the file name.

Hi,
I sometimes use this command in a bash shell to substitute space with underscore in a whole tree (files and directories)

find . -depth -name ‘* *’ -exec sh -c ‘D=$(dirname “$0″); F=$(basename “$0″); mv “$0″ “$D/${F// /_}”‘ ‘{}’ \;

Regards
