än den jag lyckades komma fram till via vild sökning på nätet:
find . -name "Länk till "* -exec rename -v "s/Länk till //" {} \;
My guess is that your solution might be a bit faster. IN my solution, both
find and rename look for the same thing, kind of…
As everyone can see, I'm a bash beginner but I learn all the time. I think
that my new knowledge of xargs will make me able to do things that I
couldn't before! Thanks again!
