Thank You Ben, Owen, Daniel and James for your responses :D For some reason (unbeknown to this wee brain) the perl script chucked a wobbly: syntax error at line 4, near "0 rename"
So I opted for Daniel's shell script instead. I'm not sure what you meant by 'harder' Daniel in > Alternately, in shell, you can do the same, but harder: the script worked nicely and I'm v pleased with the result. thanks again everyone for all your help cheers, Meryl -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
