I am sure that this is an easy question for those people who do any
reasonable amount of scripting. I'm just not one of them.
How can I rename all of the files ina directory with the new name being
the old name stripped of its leftmost three characters. If all of the
files are off the format:
xxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.zzz
I want the new names to be of the format:
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.zzz
I have hundreds of files like this in each of several directories and I
really don't want to do it all by hand. I did some of that, already,
and I know there must be a better way.
All help appreciated.
