Simon,
This will recursively find all files with a trailing space
and call 'removespace' on them
find . -regex ".* " -type f -exec ./removespace "{}" \;
you'll need the following script accessible (called
removespace with all the correct execute perms)
to do the renaming
#!/bin/sh
echo "Move" xx$1xx "to" xx`echo $1 | sed 's/[ \t]*$//'`xx
# uncomment below when you are convinced it will work
# mv "$1" `echo $1 | sed 's/[ \t]*$//'`
Until you uncomment the last line, it will just print what it
is going to do..
only tested on linux - ymmv
Andrew
