[QUOTE]If the output is correct you can pipe the output of the sed command to sh to mv the files in the loop as follow:

Code:
for file in *.txt
do
  sed 's/\(.*_\)\(.*\)-\(.*\)\(_.*\)/mv & \1\3-\2\4/' "$file" | sh
done

Regards[QUOTE]


When I run it, this comes up and the filenames are unchanged

sh: llllll: not found
sh: l: not found
sh: lllllllllllllllllll: not found
sh: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: not found
sh: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: not found
sh: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: not found
sh: rrrrrrrrrrrrrr: not found


Where llllllllllllllll and rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr etc are the contents of some dummy files I'm using to verify the scripts

So I'm afraid something is not quite right again

Thanks
