Oh, yeh. I use "sed" for this on UNIX. It works fine because we have pipes...

: ren file... sedcmd
FILES=
PAT=
for i
do
	FILES="$FILES $PAT"
	PAT=$i
done
for i in $FILES
do
	mv $i `echo $i | sed "$PAT"`
done

(now if this was comp.unix Randall Schwartz would jump in at this point
 with a perl script....)
