    Replace characters in a directory name

    Hey, You're awesome, i was screwing up the script by passing: "*bb*" as $2 when it was already specified in the script as "*$2*" so that's what it was! Thanks a lot!!!

    Replace characters in a directory name

    Hi, I'm trying to write a script to find directories/subdirectories with a certain pattern in the name, then replace the pattern in the directory name. I figured out how to find them using find $1 -type d -name "*$2*" but it's the replacing that's giving me a migraine... please help! TIA.
