Re: Changing date format in filenames in Linux

Keith,

I've done the above and your script works perfectly now. It will be a great help to me and allow me to sort files sensibly by date in future.

I've also learned a bit about scripting in the process, which is nice. It felt good to be using the keyboard a bit more again. I remember being a bit disdainful of the mouse when Windows 3.1 was released but we've all got used to pointing and clicking since then.

Again, thanks for your patience and your help

Mike
