for i in *\ *.jpg; do echo mv -v $i ${i// /_}; done

Without collision test. Check output and then remove "echo".

space problem

I have a listing of *.jpg files from a digital camera and some of them
(not all) have a space in the file name.
I am having problem renaming the files with the space in them .

my first thought was sed s/ /_/g $file but sed doesn't work with 'ls'

how else to write a script that renames a list of jpgs with [[:space:]]
in it ?


thanx

Grant

For this I use :

rename 's/ /_/g' *.jpg
