? What do you want to achieve/avoid? If you want to convert files, and only need a safety belt, "-i" is fine. It will run in most of tpossible cases. If you have to rename each and every file, nothing will really help you. "-i" does only ask if there is a conflict, Steve. For the case the original poster presented, "-i" is quite sufficient, and doesn't require perl to work. Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
