Hello, I would like to write a program that would automatically take out the spaces in directory names and file names . I would like this because my web server does not allow spaces in names. I figure if I could figure out how to automatically know how many files are in a path, then loop through them, it could be done. Trouble is, I do not know the commands to find out how many files there are. If anyone knows or has suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks
 
Take a look at the DirectoryInfo and FileInfo classes.

You can call the file functions recursively to traverse subdirectories.

Then use a Replace to get rid of the spaces and a .Rename to change the
files.
