 Unix Tip #4315- January  3, 2025
 
SPACES TO UNDERSORE 1 LINER  
  
Do you hate users who put spaces in file names, preventing  
you from doing any sort of scripting?  
  
Well then this is the little one-liner for you to pop in a  
shell script then...  
  
for i in $1 ;  do mv "$i" `echo $i | sed 's/ /_/g'` ; done  
  
the echo $i | sed 's/ /_/g' is surrounded by back-tics not  
regular quotes.  
  
 NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted

test each tip in a non-volitile environment before placing into
