The student is to modify the script student example p3 following the instructions in the script.
The purpose of this script is to change the name of files/directories with spaces in the name to have a dash(-). So if a file/directory were named "A B", the new name would be A-B. The script will work on a directory specified on the command line and replace the spaces in the names for all files/directories underneath that directory.
The options to the script are as follows:
-f the -f says to only rename files
-d the -d says to only rename directories
Both -d and and -f may be specifed.
the name of the directory that you will be processing.
For example:
Given the following
$ ls
C D/ dirs.tar fix-spaces*
And the directory "C D" contained the following structure
./C D
./C D/E F
./C D/E F/G H
./C D/E F/G H/J K
./C D/E F/G H/J K/a b
./C D/E F/G H/a b
./C D/E F/a b
./C D/a b
After the script was run,
fix-space -f -d "C D"
the directory structure would be as follows:
C-D
C-D/E-F
C-D/E-F/G-H
C-D/E-F/G-H/a-b
C-D/E-F/G-H/J----K
C-D/E-F/G-H/J----K/a-b
C-D/E-F/a-b
C-D/a-b
