chm and pdf help in terminal (rename)
i have a cd of pdf and chm documents that i transfered from my windows xp box. i transfered the files to my linux box (ubuntu hardy). unfortunately, i used to be a windows GUI only user so the use of spaces and "( )" and underscores. now that i use linux, ive been using CLI for using and moving/coping files. when i tried to view a .chm file, i had installed chmsee for those files, i got problems saying that the use of "(" isnt allowed. is there anyway in the terminal to use those files in such a fashion like, for example, the file "Linux file (2005).chm", and use "mv" the change the name without having to use GUI. something like this:
"mv Linux file (2005).chm Linux_file_2005.chm"
is this possible???
