I wrote a script which removes spaces in a single folder/file name. I want to make it work so that it removes all spaces in folder/files name in the directory the script exists.
MY Script:
#!/bin/bash
var=$(ls | grep " ")
test=$(echo $var | sed 's/ //')
mv "$var" $test
How it worked
Thank you for helping!
>Solution :
Try this
ls | grep " " | while read file_name
do
mv "$file_name" "$(echo $file_name | sed -E 's/ +//g')"
done
sed -E is so that you can use some simple regex, and / +/ so it can work in case of multiple consecutive spaces such as . And /g so it replaces every occurrences such as foo baa .txt .
