That's correct. So renaming needs to start at the end. (There are actually 24 files in the directory.) so renaming: ccna.pod24.pc1.ext to ccna.pod25.pc1.ext needs to happen before renaming: ccna.pod23.pc1.ext to ccna.pod24.pc1.ext and so on down to: ccna.pod1.pc1.ext to ccna.pod2.pc1.ext Dennisk -- "Free as in Freedom" Free Software Foundation --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
