I posted the wrong friggin' snippet (that was my test code - doh!). What I should have posted was this: gci *a.mp3 | rename-item -NewName { $_.name -replace '(.*?)a\.mp3', '$1.mp3'} That's what I get for trying to answer one more post when I'm getting "the look" that we should have left for the in-laws 10 minutes ago. :-) -- Keith |
