Third, or fourth now?
Note I originally said: rename -n "s/.jpg\..*$/.jpg/" * which should have been rename -n "s/\.jpg\..*$/.jpg/" * where the first matched any character which was followed by jpg, where the latter only matches a dot followed by jpg. Again, it's all about trying to make it avoid false positives.
This is still failing with this message :- mv: cannot stat `(3439)/test.jpg;1': No such file or directory I *think* it's because there are spaces in the directory names. I've been searching all morning for ways round that but without success so far. Any help appreciated. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .----------------------------------------------. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_alug@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ |______________________________________________|
