Converting 'space' to 'underscore'? - GoFuckYourself.com

Nat · 01-01-2003, 05:51 PM

I have a shitload of files with space's in there names, like "my hot page.html" and i am looking for some program that can convert all the spaces to underscore instead, so that the page would be renamed to "my_hot_page.html" instead...

If anyone know of such a program, please let me know!

Thanks, and Happy New Year to you all!

Code:

perl -e {'@a=`ls *.html`; foreach $o (@a) { chop($o); $n=$o; $n=~s/ /_/g; $s = "mv \"$o\" \"$n\"\n"; system($s); };'};

... yay for perl.
