[X4U] How can I easily replace '/' with '-' in file names?

[Juan Pablo]

you may try to run a script in the directory you have your files
it could be something like this

for files in * ; do
	newname=$(echo $files | sed 's/\//-/g')
	cp $files $newname
done

im sorry i havent tryed it but i think it could work
