thanks, exactly what I needed. "cut" was what I was hunting for. I have seldom had the need to employe it and it did not come to this old mind.

It could also have been done with bash regex, string matching and extraction, but I'm always a bit a hazy with those - cut does it for me :-) Nice little brainteaser on a Sunday morning. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

"krusader" ???
Ooops! How the heck did that got in? Yes, it is there in the google search tab. I searched for "krename faq" and the krusader faq is there, first hit. I didn't see it, my mind read what was suposed to be there, not what it actually was. If you search directly at kde docs, what it finds is again krusader. <https://docs.kde.org/docsearch/omega?B=Len&B=XBRANCHGENERICtrunk&DEFAULTOP=and&P=krename&DEFAULTOP=and&xFILTERS=--O> Must be that it is made by the krusade people as a plugin or something :-? Searching for the app krename at kde docs find nothing :-? I know I found it recently /well, this summer), I had need for it. Where? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
