It would appear that someone by the name of lwall wrote something similar a few years back. I wonder whatever became of him? rename used to be shipped with Perl but is not anymore, unfortunately. Google suggests there is a copy at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~pinkard/old-homepage/cgi-bin/perl-4.036/eg/rename and Debian seems to provide an updated version as /usr/bin/rename. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
