Hi,
Is it possible to remove the first part of the file name using find.

i.e i have something like 2006abc.txt , 1007bed.txt etc,
I wanna rename them to abc.txt , bed.txt

I tried some stupid way..

find . -name '*.txt' -exec mv {} `cut -f2-5 -d"_" {}` \;

somehow iam not getting it.

appreciate any help.

not tested but how about like this:
find . -name '*.txt' | `expr substr {} 5 9`|mv {}.txt
Where 5 is starting position and 9 is the number of chacters after the starting position.

for fname in *.txt
do
mv $fname ${fname##*[0-9]}
done

find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.txt' -print -exec echo "mv {} \`echo {} | sed 's/[^a-z.]//g'\`" \; | zsh
