Replace parentheses and spaces in file names with underscores
I am using this line to remove spaces in folder name
find /tmp/ -depth -name "* *" -execdir rename 's/ /_/g' "{}" \;
Is there a way to remove SPACES and PARENTHESES from the filename and put an underscore?
For example, I have:
|-- a_dir
| `-- (1) file with spaces and parentheses.pdf
`-- b_dir
|-- (43) another file with spaces (1).pdf
`-- (132) yet another file with spaces (3343).pdf
Should become
|-- a_dir
| `-- 1_file_with_spaces_and_parentheses.pdf
`-- b_dir
|-- 43_another_file_with_spaces_1.pdf
`-- 132_yet_another_file_with_spaces_3343.pdf
