I've got loads of scripts but the names are too long! I've stuck the list in a flat file (names) and I'm trying to read that in line by line and create the new names (in to directory new) from the list. It looks like this:
I can't get it to write the new files out seperately. It just plows them all into one file.
Any help much appreciated
PS - I also suspect if it does work it will just replace 99000001 with 99100001 !
