I learned long ago on this list, to avoid spaces in file names.
You can deal with spaces, but it can be extra work depending on the how the task is done. $ touch aaa\ H\ bbb bbb\ H\ ccc ddd\ H\ ddd $ ls -1 aaa H bbb bbb H ccc ddd H ddd $ for x in *H*;do mv -vi "${x}" "${x/H/J}";done 'aaa H bbb' -> 'aaa J bbb' 'bbb H ccc' -> 'bbb J ccc' 'ddd H ddd' -> 'ddd J ddd' $ ls -1 aaa J bbb bbb J ccc ddd J ddd A.
