[FSFTN] shell script - converting blanks in file name to underscores

[Bharath Kumar]

Hi Linux Group,



I have written a code that will convert blanks in file name to underscores. The resultant file type and the path name will be displayed. Please suggest me if the code needs any improvement. Also please give me some assignments so that I will learn shell scripting. I am a linux newbie. Please find the code snippet here : 



#!/bin/bash

echo -e "Input the file that you want to search: c"

read input 

find ~ -name ${input}

echo -e "Input the file that you want: c"

read input1

echo -e "Input the file name with underscore instead of space: c"

read newfile

mv "$input1" "$newfile"

file ${newfile}

find ~ -name ${newfile}



Thanks and Regards,

Bharath Kumar A.V.
