Taking the chicken way out... but I can't think of the right tricky search strings to uncover a tried and true way to output a 3 digit padded numeric series. In this case its for file names. And needs to roll over to 4 digit in the event there are enough files.
There is no problem of clobbering since files are being renamed as they are moved to a new clean directory. I just can't recall how to make my incremented counter start at 000 and go: 001.ext 002.ext 003.ext etc. Its just the numeric part I need a jump start on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
