Preface these comments with a note that if you have directories with
%20 you may want to do them individually. I'm not sure what might
happen if you start changing subdir names while a script is running.
That sain One Possible Way (untested) I'd try against the regular files.
Would be a comination tiny script and a find command.
cat mvfl.sh
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#!/bin/sh
mv -i $1 $(echo $1|sed 's/\%20//')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Use it in a find command:
>From current directory:
find . -type f -name '*%20*' -ok ./mvfl.sh {} \;
Using -ok instead of -exec means you'll be asked before each action.
Once you see it doing the job change to `-exec' in place of `-ok'
