SPACES TO UNDERSORE 1 LINER

Do you hate users who put spaces in file names, preventing
you from doing any sort of scripting?

Well then this is the little one-liner for you to pop in a
shell script then...

for i in $1 ; do mv "$i" `echo $i | sed 's/ /_/g'` ; done

the echo $i | sed 's/ /_/g' is surrounded by back-tics not
regular quotes.
