That's great, except that it seems that I need another scripting 101 lesson. Based on the above I would have thought that: #!/bin/bash for i in *.OK; do mv $i $(basename $i .OK) would do it, but I get: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of file Do I have too many dollars or something (this has never been a problem before ;-) cheers Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

No, tried that. tr '.OK' '' complains that the second string cannot be
null and says to use the -t qualifier when truncating.
for i in *.OK; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr -d '.OK'`;done;
removes the .OK just fine, but also removes ".", "O" and "K" wherever
they occur.

Try giving tr nothing as a second option, or use sed (challenging,
better get an O'Reilly book).
Here's one that might help as an example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ cat bin/2lower.sh
#!/bin/sh
for i in *
do
j=`echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
mv $i $j
done

Being a total newb when it comes to shell programing, I found this to be
a great tip (having just spent considerable time writing a much longer
script to do the same thing *).
Is there an equally simple way to truncate file names to remove unwanted
characters from the end? I of course would never dream of downloading
anything using gnutella, but should someone else do this and end up with
lots of files ending in ".OK", it would be nice to process them in a
similar way. Just theoretically of course.

alias that sucker in your .bashrc like this:
function mp3enc() { for i in `ls *.wav`; do lame -buncha -options $i;
done }
and in reverse:
function mp3dec() { for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i
.mp3`.wav; done; }
the only problem you might run into is if the filenames have spaces, so,
do this first:
for i in *.mp3; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`;done;
you can alias that one as well in your .bashrc

There's a program called KBlade that works with bladeenc and KDE to allow drag and drop conversion. http://membres.lycos.fr/linzeus/kblade/ You can also make scripts inside the Gnome folder. If you select a file or directory then call the script it will get passed as a parameter to your script. You could then have your script convert everything in the passed directory. -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] wav to mp3 enmasse?
Is there a tool for converting wav files to mp3s enmasse? Right now I am using Lame at the command line, but it is getting old. I would like to point Lame at a directory of wavs and have it encode the mp3 files using the same name. Any thoughts beyond a shell script? Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
