To do this you can use the following command:

Dir -R | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -replace " ","_" }

which in this case will fetch and rename files recursively ( -R). It is also possible to filter files that will be renamed by extension using a parameter *.cpp

Dir -R *.cpp| Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -replace " ","_" }
