osx - Using find command on Mac, handling spaces and ( in filenames -

i transferring lot of mac data user windows machine , trying remove illegal windows characters. have used following post, doesn't handle spaces or ( on mac data.

find . -name "*[<>:\\|?*]*" -exec bash -c 'x="{}"; y=$(sed "s/[<>:\\|?*]\+/-  /g" <<< "$x") && mv "$x" "$y" ' \; 

so syntax error near unexpected token `(' brackets

and no such file or directory spaces in.

the suggested answer @meuh not work osx because relies upon non-posix regular expression. written gnu sed, diverges in many respects standard.

bres (used sed) not accept + in expression. instead, 1 uses range followed zero-or-more copies (*) of range.

here working script:

#!/bin/sh find . -name "*[<>:\\|?*]*" 2>/dev/null | sed "p; s/[<>:\\|?*][<>:\\|?*]*/-  /g" | while read x; read y    if test "x$x" != "x$y"           mv -v "$x" "$y"    fi done 

and output (starting file named ".baf fled/f<>foo2."):

./baf fled/f<>oo2. -> ./baf fled/f-  oo2.
