Re: Tag & Rename question....



Thanks Ant, but I think the syntax must be slightly off?...

I get the following error:

D:\MP3 Archive\- DHA Archive M-Z\Archive N-Z\Sweet>perl -e 'for(`find .
-type d`
){chomp;$o=$_;if(s/.*-\s*//){rename $o,$_ unless -d $_;};}'

Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line
1.

I'm using Activestate Perl 5.6.1 on Windows 2003 server...

Cheers.

Paul G.
