As much as I hate to admit that MS can do some things right, their 'ren' command (rename, instead of doing a mv from name to name like we do) is actually quite intelligent. Not quite to the point of regexps, but you can do things like ren *.txt *.doc or whatnot and it will actually work. And if there's already a shell-script for it (I'm not familiar with 'rename') just run it in Cygwin. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
