[Gllug] Mass renaming of files

[Simon Morris]

Hi GLLUGers,

I have a IRIX server at work providing file access for UNIX,Linux, MAC
OS 9 and various versions of Windows.

We have a problem where there are many filenames including colons :

Theses files are readable using Macs and UNIX OS's but the Windows
machines won't copy them from the server.

What is the best way to:

a) Find all the files under a certain directory where the filename
includes a :

b) Rename these files to replace the : with a - or possibly remove the
colon altogether.

Thanks
