you need to tell rename that the options are ended with --
$ rename -- '-fixed' '' *-fixed.flac
$ ls *flac
a.flac b.flac
thanx for the tip, haven't had to use that since old days of "startx
clientopts -- serveropts &"
but yet again I'm roped with having to wrap another case statement
around pieces of scripts for cygwin specific items (because the same
syntax of "rename --" doesn't work on redhat linux or another distro a
friend tried for me)
curious because it is the almost standard (gnu) solution in
most of the utilities.
I guess it is included in most used option parser
touch, mv , cp, .. are all working in the same way.
Otherwise try to rename/move a file called "-v" ...
(without using "./-v" )
i'm not complaining, i love cygwin!
that is a quite old version of util-linux I wonder does anyone know
the factors involved in staying with that one? (everything else is
mostly so wonderfully almost bleeding edge [which I like!])
It is working and the maintainer sees no reason to change it ;-)
I don't think basic stuff needs to be changed a lot.

Marco
