Is there a utility that will scan 500 GB worth of tiles and insert a "_" character where a "blank space" exists so that the entire drive can be copied to a new NTFS r/w drive?

Hi,

NTFS supports blank spaces in filenames, so why would you want to do that?

P.S. If you really want to do this, you could try:

This will go through all the contents recursively starting in the current directory and rename each file or directory with spaces to a pathname with spaces converted to underscores.
However it is not perfect as when directories are renamed, 'find' gets confused... so you have to run the command repeatedly until it doesn't find anything more to rename.

Erik: Thanks for the code. I will be much happier not having to use it, but I had not been aware that NTFS would deal with "blanks" in the file name.
Cheers, David
