Or remove spaces from all filenames. Why would one want spaces in filenames anyway ?
To me it feels a bit like putting spaces in variable names, which isn't a good idea either.

#! /bin/bash

# spaces2underscores.sh

echo
echo "This command changes all spaces in file names into underscores"
echo " for ALL FILES IN THIS DIRECTORY !"
echo " Type ENTER to continue or ^C to quit"

read dummy

for f in *; do
   oldname=`echo $f |sed 's/ /~/g'`
   newname=`echo $f |sed 's/ /_/g'`
   if [ $oldname != $newname ]
   then
     echo mv $f $newname
     mv "$f" $newname
   fi
done
