Change file names with find and iconv

Question

I\'ve tried to change filenames using following script:

find dir/ -type f -exec mv {} $(echo {} | iconv -f UTF8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT ) \\;

Why doesn\'t it work

Answer 1

This should also work:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "DO" ] ; then
 if [ "$2" != "$3" ]; then
  mv "$2" "$3";
 fi
else
 find dir/ -type f -exec "bash" $0 "DO" {} $(echo {} | iconv -f UTF8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT )  \;
fi
