Sorry, I don't know what Akua Sweets is.  To munge is to mess with.
Originally specifically to mess *up*, I believe.

As for the name, I would have just used tid to split on ".".  I guess
counting back the length of the extension is more efficient... ;) but
in this case all the files have a fixed extension (.avi) since I'm
finding them via 'where its name extension is "avi"', so I don't need
to worry about variable extension lengths here.


Thanks again, both of you.
