If you're in Linux, use:
# rename 'y/\ /_/' *

I needed to quickly and painlessly rename some files by replacing
spaces
with underscores (_). Here's a quick and dirty python script that did it for me. I ran it from the python interpreter command-line (I didn't save the script to a file... lazy). ----- begin script----- import os for file in os.listdir(os.getcwd()): newname = "_".join(file.split()) os.rename(file, newname) ----- end script------ It's a quick and dirty script so there's no error-handling of *any* sort. But that's trivial to add if you needed it.
