Can someone suggest a way to rename a directory of files like this:<br>
<br>
ccna.pod1.pc1.ext is renamed to ccna.pod2.pc1.ext<br>
ccna.pod2.pc1.ext is renamed to ccna.pod3.pc1.ext<br>
<br>
and so on.<br>
<br>
(Aside: Hans, if I were able to take your scripting class I won&#39;t be asking this now. :-)<br>
