Hi,

Quite a few problems arise from within self-written scripts when dealing
with (Windows') file and directory names containing spaces.
I therefore thought about a script which takes a directory as argument,
recursively processing both file and (sub)dir names in it (starting with the
argument's name itself), replacing each space with an underscore (additionally
also rendering everything lowercase), and cutting off trailing space(s) from
names, respectively.
For instance, the processed files fortunes-o_, index_2.htm_ and index2_.html
should be detected and fixed like this: fortunes-o, index_2.htm,
index2.html.
How would you accomplish that?
Many thanks in advance, and best wishes!
