My guess is that it expanded > something odd with "*?*" Seems like a fair guess. I tried it with a different replacement string (I hop I modified it correctly) just to see if it didn't like the "?": NEWNAME=`expr "$AFILE" : "\(.*\)fred"` But it still spat out all the same errors :-( > Try "sh -x vchop.sh" see if anything obvious is wrong, try a directory > with one or two files "mkdir fred ; touch a?1 b?2" etc etc. Yep, just gives all the same rubbish with slightly different syntax. > Quotes on the "mv" handle spaces in file names better. > mv "$AFILE" "$NEWNAME" There aren't any spaces in the filenames either (these are all web pages), but I changed it anyway. > It's been one of those weeks :-( I know how you feel :-( My ecommerce suite is as slow as treacle, because my service provider downgraded my RAM because they thought that's what made the hard drive fail (eh?!). Which means my client isn't very happy and I don't get paid :-( I'm trying to build a 'static mirroring' system with wget, which will allow me to use mr-speedy-gonzales-Apache to serve the site instead, which should get it up to at least 40 requests/sec. And then they might pay me :-) So thanks for your help!
