Hi All,

OK guys, I've done this before using either "sed" or "grep" (or a 
combination of)
and regular expressions but I just can't get it right this time.

I have a few thousand MP3 files which are all under a general "Music" 
directory
but all within separate directories under that.  At the moment they have 
just a
'-' (dash) between the artist name and the track name. I would like them 
to have
' - ' (space, dash, space) instead.

The only common factors of all file names are that mentioned above and 
the .mp3
on the end.

e.g. 
Asia-Aqua.mp3  ->  Asia - Aqua.mp3

Any reg-ex experts out there?

Andy Jenkins
