Hi,

I have a similar renaming question, so I figured I would post here rather than starting a new thread.

I have a bunch a files named 20110117 Trial 1_Sandri Hanover.jpg, 20110117 Trial 2_For Ed.jpg.....etc

I need it to replace the underscore with a dash followed by a blank space.
For example
20110117 Trial 1- Sandri Hanover.jpg, 20110117 Trial 2- For Ed.jpg.....etc

Thank you!
