You can also use "tr" to do the job:

for i in *.gif
do
   mv $i `echo $i | tr -d "-"`
done


<div>
guessing ...<br />
&nbsp; perl -e'for(@ARGV){($f=$_)=~s(-<wbr />)()g;print<wbr /> &quot;rename $_,$f&quot;;}'<br />
and if that is what you want, then use<br />
&nbsp; perl -e'for(@ARGV){($f=$_)=~s(-<wbr />)()g;renam<wbr />e $_,$f;}'
</div>


guessing ...
  perl -e'for(@ARGV){($f=$_)=~s(-)()g;print "rename $_,$f";}'
and if that is what you want, then use
  perl -e'for(@ARGV){($f=$_)=~s(-)()g;rename $_,$f;}'

Remove character &quot;-&quot; in a selected range of file names within a directory

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
