I need to clean up files for our Digital Asset Management system.
There's about 5000 files and some of them have names with space in
them which is incompatible with some of the software used in our
workflow. Is there a faster way than looping through each character
of each file to see if it equals ASCII Number 32? Things are working
fine but chugging slowly and I'd like to speed up the process. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
If you can use Smile (the free AppleScript working environment), you
can use its "Enhanced Find dialog" to rename files in a batch: you
select the files to rename, enter a "search string" and a "replace
string", click "Rename" et voila.
By default Smile uses its "Standard Find dialog": switch to the
Enhanced in the Preferences.
