Awesome agama! That worked beautifully! The files with five digits were ignored as the filename was the same as destination name. I wish that I had gotten into *nix programming much earlier so I would know this stuff better, but now just trying to self teach myself these fun little things.

Hi I'm new to this. I need to cut off the last 10 digits from a line.
