Batch Rename in Fish shell

Question

I get 15 or 20 files every week with random names that include several symbols such as ! , ' etc. Plus there is space . So I need to replace space with _ , and any other symbols to nothing before I can pass them to another script. I use thunar for the job now, but I'll very much like to automate it in the script. I'm using fish shell.

Answer 1

Okay, I find an old tool called rename . It did the trick without using sed or any complex command.
