Hi all, A little help on the way, I need to find and remove the double quote (") character from all files in a directory structure containing hundreds of thousands of files. I am sure plenty of you have done this before... I've gotten as far as find . -type f -name '*"*' -exec rename 's|"|in|g' {} \; find: rename: No such file or directory The find part works but not renaming so I'm missing something there. Thanks, Per
