Removing spaces within Filename
Hello,

I have a Folder (myfile) which contain the following files:
Code:
P$12789865KR +N+01+OM+16102009165416.nu
P$M1-508962GD +N+01+ALP+14102009094417.nu

Is there a sed command(s) that will loop through this folder
and remove the spaces that exists in the filename?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
