If there's one thing that irks me about some Linux users, it's assuming all shell scripting is bash scripting. There are other shells out there, some older than bash. I'd like to see if there's a way to modify this to be more specific. For example, only change the spaces to underscores for all files matching N* Very nice as it is, though. Thanks!

I've been having all sorts of problems with a bash script today only to find out it was because the file names contained white spaces. This script of yours completely fixed my problem.
