I guess this is more of a general Linux question, and not specific to
Kubuntu. When I install Kubuntu I had copied my hard drive from a
previous installation of Mepis, which in turn was taken directly from
Windows. to make a long story short, it's been several years now and I
still have Windows-style names for all my files. meaning they use a lot
of CAPS and SPACES. <br>
<br>
Is there a bash command (similar to awk) that would allow me to search
out all the spaces in my file names and replace them with underscores
(recursive from home folder)? Or perhaps one of you already has a
script that could help with this task? I have Googled this a number of
times and feel like I have exhausted all other avenues, even a point in
the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Additionally I would
like confirmation that what I'm trying to do won't cause problems, most
of the files I want renamed are music and picture files.<br>

I currently run Kubuntu 5.1 Breezy in KDE.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Dave Sterken
