Thanks all who assisted, especially Bill for the rewriting part and others for
the regex syntax.
The script rewrites the files but nothing is replaced. When I escape the space
as \s+ or \s it signals an error of unrecognized escape \s.
Could it be the regex are written or is it impossible to do the required
substitution?
Help appreciated.
