List all files that contain an underscore
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to recursively list all files and folders that contain an underscore? I'm looking to replace underscores in file and folder names with a hyphen and I am looking for an easy way to get a listing of the files I will need to change.

Thanks so much for your help!

you can use find and pipe the output to egrep searching for the pattern you need. That will give you your list.

I think you can do it directly with find:

Code:
find . -name '*_*' -print
