Hi Neil Jones, welcome!
PLEASE next time write a proper subject line better describing your issue!
Like e.g. "How-to utilize regular expression to change space to underscore?"
NOT such senseless "I want to rename, how?", because that's self-evident

It's clear to me that I am going to have to learn how to be proficient with regular expressions.
I have a ton of folders where I wish to remove spaces between words and insert underscores.
I've experimented but I'm not able to make my regular expressions work.
Can someone post the regular expression for this so I can see what I'm doing wrong.
Also, is there a good video tutorial on using regular expressions that relates to renaming files and folders that would help me out?
To just change spaces to something other you need no RegEx at all.Just utilize
Repl.(3)
Replace: SPACE
With: UNDERSCORE

If you still need an RegEx pattern, then post before/after examples what you want to achieve.
Ohh, and:
with BRU you can't utilize RegEx at all to just change all spaces, no matter where they appear.
With BRUs RegEx engine you have to match the whole name (before and after the spaces) too!
So you have to find an common pattern to all your file names (or select them group wise, if you would have to use different pattern)

Please wait a few seconds then submit. Thank you.
