Re: use of wildcard function recursively

[Chris Chiasson]

ended up using

find . -name "*" -type d | while read f; do mv "$f" `echo "$f" | sed
's/ /_/g'`; done

a few times (to affect subdirectories underneath directories with
spaces in their names)... wonder if there is a "leaves first" option
to find...

Thanks again,
