I need to do something like this too. But I have a couple of 100 jpg files that have all difference names, all ending in .jpg, how can I rename them to for example 10.jpg, 20.jpg, 30.jpg, etc.
I'm not getting the pattern. You want all .jpg files to have their original file names wiped and replaced with a sequence of numbers which are multiples of 10? e.g.,: aaaa.jpg -> 10.jpg aaab.jpg -> 20.jpg aaba.jpg -> 30.jpg and so on? If you help me understand the pattern you're looking for, I can either give you the appropriate rename command(s) and/or adapt one of my many renaming scripts to do it for you. One warning: I haven't successfully installed Suse yet, so mine works on Mandrake 8.2. It should work though. Regards, Jim
