rwb1959,

Thanks heaps for the reply.

The build should be:

Nname="df"`echo $fname | cut -c4-5`
rename $fname Nname


Is this correct?
I'm preparing this at home before I go back to workon Monday.

Again, many thanks.

BTW - Why is it that mv is unable to handle wildcards in a similar fashion to: mv Nov??_df df??.

NAME
zip_source_file - create data source from a file LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip) SYNOPSIS
struct zip_source * zip_source_file(struct zip *archive, const char *fname); "zip_uint64_t start" "zip_int64_t len" DESCRIPTION
The function zip_source_file creates a zip source from a file. zip_source_file opens fname and reads len bytes from offset start from it.

Upon successful completion, the created source is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
zip_source_file fails if: [ZIP_ER_INVAL] fname, start, or len are invalid. [ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated. [ZIP_ER_OPEN] Opening fname failed. SEE ALSO
