Another example of when the command line trums the GUI
Whenever you’re working with the file directory structure or with text in general, you can’t do any better than using the command line. For example, I was recently copying a bunch of files off of some old CDs because I was noticing that they were starting to develop bit-rot. (I couldn’t access all the files anymore) For reasons I don’t wish to get into right now, it’s easier to not have spaces in filenames in Linux. It’s not because Linux can’t handle spaces in filenames - it can. But if you’re a semi-hacker like me, spaces in filenames can wreak total havoc on your scripts. So I wanted to remove spaces off of around 200 or so files.
