Linux - Replacing spaces in the file names

Question

I have a number of files in a folder, and I want to replace every space character in all file names with underscores. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Use sh...

for i in *' '*; do   mv "$i" `echo $i | sed -e 's/ /_/g'`; done

If you want to try this out before pulling the trigger just change mv to echo mv.
