thanks!!!
The first reply runs over 6000 every time, which is not very convenient
The second answer workds just fine... but since this is going to be part of a script, I am wondering about the sh part of it... can it be removed?
Thanks again
Hmmm... I'm confused. You the trailing '|sh' to do the actual renaming.
I provided the part withOUT the '|sh' for you to test/troubleshoot the 'mv' command. Once this is done, you'd need to add the trailing '|sh' to do the renaming.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious - I've been known to do that.
