<br>I can't document it now but with luck man pages and google will help. Run the one line command (which is a loop of multiple commands) in the directory with files with spaces in. Replaces them with underscore.<br><br>

i am using genisoimage on this folder ...../home/boztu/Music/Irish Celtic<br>
Music Collection Version 2 .... which contains 2976 mp3s, but it is truncating<br>
the file names after the first word of their title. It appears to be doing this<br>
at the first space that it encounters, so I'm hoping someone can help me by<br>
suggesting a script that I can run that will remove all spaces in the file<br>
names, before .mp3, to enable genisoimage to run properly. The iso it creates<br>
is 18.9gbs in size and I then run split to make it into 4gb sized files to be<br>
burnt to dvds.<br>
<br>
Can you help me please?<br>
<br>
Thank<br>
