Here's one for you scripting gurus;

I have a directory with a bunch of tarballs in it (GTK+ themes, actually).
Each of the names is like this:

  theme-name[1].tar.gz

I want the names to be like this:

  theme-name.tar.gz

Can't I write a script that will automatically rename all of the files?  I
have around 300 of them so far, and I'd really rather not do it by hand :).

PS: Yes, I changed my email address again.  All the more reason to post your
RE:'s to the list ;).
