Rename files in bash via string handling
Authored by: riceran on Sep 07, '06 09:22:39AM

In spite of my comment above, I do regularly use the bash string editing features for other purposes. The resource that I used to learn about these was the O'Reilly book on bash. Of course, that requires the purchase of a book, which is not ideal...and likely not necessary. I'm sure that you can google good web resources.

I can highly recommend the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, which is free, and available at http://www.die.net/doc/linux/abs-guide/.
