Hello,
thanks for the info I will try it out,
Actually what I am doing is Migrating everything to Linux, so all the
Windows File thingy's are copied over to a Linux filesystem and well I kind
of want to get rid of Windows all together.
should I change the command to something else due to the fact that my files
are on the Linux Filesystem?
I will let you know if you amazing once I try it out <Smile>
thanks
Karina

I don't think I could pass up a chance to be amazing :-)
find /dos -name "* *" -exec sh -c 'echo {} | (read f ; mv "$f" `echo $f |
sed
"s/ //g"`)' \;
ought to do the trick, assuming all those files are under /dos. It does
give
me a find error on one file in my test directory, but the move happened. It
was also harder than I expected.
However, I don't think you should do this without explaining why you think
you
need to. Did some window-y thing dump a bunch of spacey filenames into your
Linux filesystem or are you trying to change all the spacey filenames on a
windows filesystem?
Jeff
