Hi Andrew, That is a very elegant one liner. So this one just changed the H to a J Let's see if some light is entering the brain at this late hour So this - for x in 6H9* - is saying for the input 6H9* (all files in the directory with 6H9as a prefix) then do the exchange of the J for the H using the move command mv which is another way to rename; -v for verbose will print the outcome on screen and after that it looks like the swap but I am lost from this point. But grateful. Thanks Andrew Greig
