Err --- Gary Kline was the OP asking how to do this: I think you mean=20
Bernard El-Hagin's solution?
% perl -i.bak -pe 'tr/_/ /' <files>
That doesn't do the right thing. It turns:
"This is a sample ordinary sentence. This_is_joined_up_with_underscore=
s."
into:
"This is a sample ordinary sentence. This is joined up with underscore=
s."
but the requirement is to produce:
"This is a sample ordinary sentence."
