Ok team, here's the deal. I am *not* a programmer or a sysadmin, so be gentle. ;)
Here is the code--checked it out in perldoc -q. Wow, it works... My platform: Windows 2000 #! perl -w use strict; use File::Copy; move("file1.txt", "file3.txt"); That's great, but I have umpteen scores of files that are named nm*.html and nm*.gif. I need to iterate the code to go through the directory and change the file names. How do i go about finding the code to do this. I tried perldoc -q iteration (and branching; and etc...) Stumped and need some advice please... BTW: I get the list in digest format, so if you do reply please 'cc' me. Thank you all very much. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
