Below code seem to work..

070625 kbs1.E41.You.Landscape.kor.hdtv.original.avi

was the original file name I did test on..


Code:
#!/bin/sh
ls |
    egrep "^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]" |
     while read a
      do
         yahoo=`echo $a |sed 's/^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][ .]//gi'`
         echo $yahoo
         mv "$a" "$yahoo"
done

Now I am trying to modify that so it will take out kbs1,

other file might have

mbc,sbs,kbs,kbs1 mbc1 mbc2 kbs2 but below did not work

Code:
#!/bin/sh
ls |
    egrep "^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]" |
     while read a
      do
         yahoo=`echo $a |sed 's/^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][ .]//gi' | sed 's/^[kms]b[sc][12]?//gi`
         echo $yahoo
         mv "$a" "$yahoo"
done

finance::quote::yahoo::europe

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe(3pm)

NAME

       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe - Fetch quotes from Yahoo Europe

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;
	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   %info = $q->fetch("europe","UG.PA"); # Failover to other methods ok.
	   %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_europe","UG.PA"); # Use this module only.

DESCRIPTION

       This module fetches information from Yahoo Europe.  Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is
       one of the following:

	       PA - Paris
	       BC - Barcelona
	       BE - Berlin
	       BI - Bilbao
	       BR - Brussels
	       CO - Copenhagen
	       D  - Dusseldorf
	       F  - Frankfurt
	       H  - Hamburg
	       HA - Hanover
	       L  - London
	       MA - Madrid
	       MC - Madrid (M.C.)
	       MI - Milan
	       MU - Munich
	       O  - Oslo
	       ST - Stockholm
	       SG - Stuttgart
	       VA - Valence
	       VI - Vienna
	       DE - Xetra (was FX)

       This module provides both the "europe" and "yahoo_europe" methods.  The "europe" method should be used if failover methods are desirable.
       The "yahoo_europe" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe.

       This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Europe" to
       Finance::Quote->new().

       Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoo's terms and conditions.  See http://finance.uk.yahoo.com/ for more details.

SPECIFIC NOTES ON CERTAIN SYMBOLS

       Starting in November 2010, the Yahoo site didn't respond to ^DJI symbol retrieval. Use ^DJI.US instead.

LABELS RETURNED

       This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo.  See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for a list of these.  The
       currency label is also returned.

       Note however that div_date and ex_div have been removed by yahoo europe site
