I recently found a package called mvgp which does exactly what you want.
It seems to work quite well. I found

Given that spaces can interfere with shell parsing, particularly for
loops of the "for foo in $bar; do somethi

You might use mmv.
If your files are: foo_bars
then use mmv "*_*" '#1\ #2' (quotes required)

possibly not the easiest way, but it works:
for i in *; do mv "$i" "${i//_/ }"; done
works only with bash 2.x (probably you have one ...).
you also could try mmv, but i don't
Hi!
I'm trying to rename a lot of files. I just want to substitute underlines
with whitespaces. How can I do that?

mmv is the way to go. It's in the mmv package (imagine that...); just
install it (if you haven't already done so) and then
mmv "foo-*-bar-*" b

A quick solution that pops out of my head, but it is pretty stupid,
and certainly not the easiest:
ls -1 > rename;
cat rename;
group-1-member-01.txt
group-1-member-02.txt
group-2-member-01.txt
vi rename; then do the following:
:1,$s/\([a-z]*\)\(-[0-9]-\)\([a-z\-]*\)

Try the attached Perl script (just put it in a directory that's in your path
and make it executable).
What would be the easiest way to rename a bunch of files
foo-[0-9]-bar-[0-9][0-9].txt
into
blah-[0-9]-[0-9][0-9].txt
Note, that all of the files have identical portions `foo-', `-bar-',
and `.txt' in the filenames. Different are two numerical parts.
For example:
,
| group-1-member-01.txt
