script doesn't work (renaming files)

2000-09-19 Thread Lars Grobe
Hi there, I have to rename a lot of files containing special characters. I've got a script to do that, but it doesn't work here (unexpected end of file etc..). BTW: How do I get a list of files containing some special characters (äÄöÖüÜß)? Will the find do this job? Thank You, CU, Lars. --

replace chars in filenames?

Hi! As I have had trouble with netatalk's character set, I have many filenames containing nonsense-chars (resulting from non-translated German Umlaute). So I have to find strings as :8a and replace them with a char (ä). Is it possible to do this with find ? Thank You, CU, Lars. -- Sent through
