| 205126 | 2004-01-04 01:19:00 | mv index.php3 index.php Or, you can use a GUI and just hit "F2" :-) |

| 205127 | 2004-01-04 01:21:00 | thx, can you shed any light on renameing lots of files? //plz dont mention typing fast. |

| 205128 | 2004-01-04 01:29:00 | If you are just wanting to remove the "3" on the end of the filenames, it would pay to mention that. There isnt any Magic file-renamer which knows exactly what you want, nor do PressF1'ers... You will have to write some sort of a script to do it... |

| 205132 | 2004-01-04 01:53:00 | OOPS: there are two characters which are easily confused in this clever [ p r e ] formatting. 1 & l. The "ls -d" uses the lower case L. The "1.php" has the numeral 1. | Graham L (2) | ||
