Here is the find working:

Code:
find -name $'*\r*'
./FDBCFEAE-021F-47BC-896B-A225C198C1A1{52730124-EF33-405F-9A8A-C840F5CEFB95}0?

Here is the command with the replace and the error message

Code:
find -name $'*\r*' -exec rename $'s|\r| |g' '{}' \;
rename: not enough arguments

What am I doing wrong in my exec command that might cause this?

Thanks!
