[SLUG] A little off topic

I need to remove the spaces from all the file names in a directory.

The command:
        find -type f | tr ' ' '-'

Replaces all the spaces with a '-' and prints it to stdout,
however I can't figure out how to actually rename the file.

I thought that
        find -type f | tr ' ' '-' | xargs cp

might work, but that barfed all over it self, any ideas
appreciated.

Thanks,
Carson
