i cant remember the regular expression for whitespace, i think its \s, but im not sure.. anyway, do something like this in a terminal, in the directory where your mp3's are. for i in `find . ` ; do echo "mv $i `echo $i | sed s/\s/_/` ; done thats not exact, and that in itself wont work, but its close. (remove the echo part once the output looks okay.) erm.. if this is over your head, mail me back offlist and i'll try to help you out a bit more. note: doing this will break your current itunes library. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
