Hi all, and thanks for the feedback :)
About that man's (unconvertable) bolt text...

Indeed! I've tried it. :)

True! how could I guess? :)

It works! Even though I don't quite understand the sed part :(
And about chopping off the .txt extension:
>Darren Wyn Rees <merlin@netlink.co.uk> adviced:
>for f in *
>do
>FNEW=`echo $f | sed -e 's/\.txt$//'`
> mv $f $FNEW
>done
This one looks more mysterious than previous suggestions
( like for example: do mv $f ${f%%.txt} done )
but works just fine, all of the same :) Thanks Darren!
I think I better go and look at sed's man-page once more..
nice to have you around all you ppl,
bye
Dimitri
