Hi all,
A little help on the way, I need to find and remove the double quote (")
character from all files in a directory structure containing hundreds of
thousands of files.
I am sure plenty of you have done this before... I've gotten as far as
find . -type f -name '*"*' -exec rename 's|"|in|g' {} \;
find: rename: No such file or directory
The find part works but not renaming so I'm missing something there.
Thanks,
Per
