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
