Thanks, Bish!
From my old reply ( I think you have missed this portion ) :
-----------------------------------------------------------
OK, but instaed of simply changing the file extention from .abc to .def , I
want .s01, .s02 ... .s12 etc. i.e. the pipe command should pick up first
letter of the file-name ( "s" in this case ) and the rest 2 chars of file
extention should have "01", "02" etc in increasing order for that particular
letter.
The extention should be exactly 3-letter word in the above format.
Any how, I have given enough trouble to all of you !
I will experiment a bit with your code, myself !
Thanks to Philip also !
Regards & thanks to all !
PS: Let me try Chandrakumar also. :)
