SPACES TO UNDERSORE 1 LINER 
Do you hate users who put spaces in file names, preventing
 you from doing any sort of scripting?
 
 Well then this is the little one-liner for you to pop in a
 shell script then...
 
 for i in $1 ;  do mv "$i" `echo $i | sed 's/ /_/g'` ; done
 
 the echo $i | sed 's/ /_/g' is surrounded by back-tics not
 regular quotes.
