File name manipulation


  • Subject: File name manipulation
  • From: Rob Lewis <email@hidden>
  • Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 16:32:37 -0800

I have a folder with over 500 files in it. The file names are of the form:

Item_Topic.html

I would like a script to change the files names to:

Topic_Item.html

(just interchange the text on either side of the underscore and before the suffix).

While I'm at it, I'd like to change the "open with" parameter from Internet Explorer to Safari.

Hints or tips? TIA. _______________________________________________
