looking for script to remove spaces from filenames

[RedRat]

Well if you can live with a GUI, try Thunar file manager. It has a powerful renaming tool and is a good file manager, similar to Nautilus. There are a myriad of ways to rename files, eg.removing characters, replacing characters in either the name itself or in the suffix.

All that being said, i would suggest that you not put a "dot" in the middle of the file names, I would suggest an underscore. The reason for this is that some Ubuntu programs seem to have a difficult time recognizing these names, e.g., DigiKam renaming tool.

i plan to *NOT* use the space bar when naming linux files and use the . instead


just busy converting a ton of data from windows to linux and the data will never see the light of windows ever again

Hello,

I'm very impressed regarding the answers.
Is it possible to limit the file name size at maximum 50 characters?

Thank you all,

I'm slowly switching from Windows 7 to Lucid, and have been using SpaceRemover to change my files from having spaces to having underscores. This naming scheme works in Solaris, which I use at college, so it should work in Ubuntu, right? Also, does it matter if folders (directories) have spaces in them? I've already added underscores to my folders in Windows that I want to transfer over, but I'd like to know anyway.

Thanks ^.^

Edit: Whoops, I just saw that this thread was marked as solved. Should I move it to a new thread?
