Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I was looking up some results on google and did not check that rename is only available in perl.

I would like to see if there was a one line command that i could use in the shell to perform my pattern based rename.

rename(3tcl)						       Tcl Built-In Commands						      rename(3tcl)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
rename - Rename or delete a command SYNOPSIS
rename oldName newName _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Rename the command that used to be called oldName so that it is now called newName. If newName is an empty string then oldName is deleted. oldName and newName may include namespace qualifiers (names of containing namespaces). If a command is renamed into a different namespace, future invocations of it will execute in the new namespace. The rename command returns an empty string as result. EXAMPLE
The rename command can be used to wrap the standard Tcl commands with your own monitoring machinery. For example, you might wish to count how often the source command is called: rename ::source ::theRealSource set sourceCount 0 proc ::source args { global sourceCount puts "called source for the [incr sourceCount]'th time" uplevel 1 ::theRealSource $args } SEE ALSO
namespace(3tcl), proc(3tcl) KEYWORDS
command, delete, namespace, rename Tcl rename(3tcl)
