Impressive ! Only this week I wrote some clarification for the rename 
command to this list and here it goes, used in a powerfull 
unix/linux-worthy solution I could not possibly have imagined!

And while we're at it, I just learned of a new command: xargs.
Thanks, it will no doubt come in handy in the future :-)

Cheers,
