>> Try it with the '-v' option So I did: $ touch "This is the test file" $ ls -al -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 29 08:10 This is the test file $ rename -v " the " " The " * `This is the test file' -> `This is The test file' $ ls -al -rw-r--r-- 1 0 Feb 29 08:10 This is the test file Filename unaltered, contrary to verbose confirmation. Just checking: in DOS Command Prompt box, dir also shows filename unaltered. BTW failure consistent on both FAT32 and exFAT filesystems; but the rename command _works_as_expected_ on NTFS. I get the subtle distinctions between FAT (all versions) and NTFS platforms; but, all the same, the rename command surely worked on *FAT* in the past - I would have noticed if it didn't because I toggle lc <> UC quite a lot.
