@roaima That is a good suggestion, but in this case the -maxdepth 1 makes it unnecessary.

Yeah, but you probably want -mindepth 1 as well, or maybe -name '* *', or something to avoid matching . . What is this newfangled /r thing by the way?

@terdon, /r has the substitution return the resulting value, instead of modifying the original. (doc) perl -le '$a = "abc"; $b = ($a =~ s/.../xyz/r); print "$a $b"' gives abc xyz
