Removing special characters from filenames

PlymWS · 08-09-2007, 05:05 AM

I have a load of files that are named "zip1.zip", "zip2.zip" etc ..

I would like to remove the " from the filenames using single shell command rather than manually renaming them all. I have experimented with various commands but they don't remove the special character (") from the filename.

What command should I use to rename the files ?

Thanks.

Code:

for file in \"*\"; do
   mv "$file" "${file//\"/}"
done
