Subject: renaming really long filenames
Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 17:14:49 -0400 [thread overview]

Howdy, Y'all:
I have some very long filenames that I would like to shorten.
The filenames contain 'spaces' and some characters with tics or
apostrophes, and tildes over them. I tried to change them from
a console session, but I don't know how to generate those special
characters from the keyboard...and I really don't want to type
the long filenames anyway. :-|
OBTW, I have no GUI (X windows) on this computer.
Is there a way to remove all characters < 023h && > 06fh
from these filenames?
find - sed - mv ???
Regards, Chuck
