You're right, it does look like a dos question. Sorry about that. Lets say read /VCE recursively on an HP-UX 11 workstation. and change every occurence of "(" to an "_" and remove every occurence of ")". I need it to read just the directory and sub-directory names, but not any of the files in the directories.

ie change /VCE/Dir(1) to /VCE/Dir_1
