Unless your aim is to learn scripting I usually do all my renaming with a GUI tool unless the task is so complex that I really have to resort to a script. Your job can easily be done by most renaming tools. Check here: <http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=rename&os=all> I prefer R-Name, but maybe in the meantime there are others that work better. I haven't tested them all. <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12259> Bjorn p.s. If you search the web for this sort of thing, spell it "extensions" to get appropriate results, although Google is nice enough to hint for the s vs. t spelling. _______________________________________________ X-Unix mailing list X-Unix at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/x-unix Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!
