You can change them. once you have the name in filNam,
put filNam into newFilNam
replace space with "\ " in filNam
replace space with "_" in newFilNam
get shell ("mv filNam newFilNam")
or, just use newFilNam--but spaces in filenames are always going to hurt
and cause problem, not mater the source.

others, some with different meanings than in a regex
