re: http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/hypermail/1996q1/0468.html A real unix hacker would tell you that to do rename *.jpeg *.jpg you can type ls *.jpeg | sed -e "s/\(..*\).jpeg/mv \1.jpeg \1.jpg/"| /bin/sh Uses simple tools that unix always has.. (:-> no new fangled languages needed... You can do the same over a filesystem.. find / -name "*.jpeg" -print | sed -e "s/\(..*\).jpeg/mv \1.jpeg \1.jpg/"| /bin/sh Simple tools used to do complex jobs..
