I have a file called "David Slater - Pensive Moments.txt" which I = wish to format to look like "David_Slater_-_Pensive_Moments.txt": = Therefore translating all spaces for underscores. 2. I have a file called "[01] I am a fish.mp3" which I want to look like = "01-I_Am_A_Fish.mp3" thus removing open brackets around numbers at the = beginning, replacing the space between the number and name with a dash = and performing the listed function as above. 3. The listed functions are required to be performed recursively across = directory trees. Any assistance people can provide would be most appreciated.
