The error message you get when you try the third command points to the problem [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ touch GAE010.GNT GAE110.GNT [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 james users 0 2006-04-23 19:28 GAE010.GNT -rw-r--r-- 1 james users 0 2006-04-23 19:28 GAE110.GNT [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ rename 's/.GNT$/.gnt' *.GNT Substitution replacement not terminated at (eval 1) line 1.
