An amateur's stab at it (I don't know the extended features of
globbing....I must learn). Again, I beg you to forgive the horrendous
inefficiencies of this approach.
foreach FILE (`ls -1 | cat -b | tr ' ' ':' | tr '\t' ':'`)
NUMBER=`echo $FILE | cut -c 4-6 | tr ':' '0'`
NAME=`echo $FILE | cut -c 8-80`
echo "mv $NAME $NUMBER.$NAME"
end
--N.
