That makes me happy! But what's even better is how happy it'll make you once you've done it.I believe you!

Also learnt a bit - and been converted to Linux for some future date when I have the leisure to play with it.![]()
Just for an idea of the built-in power of Linux, please read the first post in what turned into our Linux mega-thread.
In it, I explain how to replace spaces in filenames, like:
This Is A File
with underscores:
This_Is_A_File
(Spaces in filenames, while always allowed in *nix, aren't desirable for assorted reasons.)
As you read the code, keep in mind I'm strictly using commands that come standard with virtually all UNIX/Linux systems. There's no app to buy, nothing to search for online, just built-in tools.
I wouldn't expect you to plunge in and know how to write a script like that; that's not my point. The point is that not only is Linux more secure, stable, and beautiful (as in infinitely customizable) than window$, its built-in tools put window$ to shame.
