Whatch that rm command there buddy!  Whoah!  Slow down with the * too!  You will open yourself up for massive removing of files.  :o

Try mv -i so things will even prompt if they will overwrite something else.  ;)

i just unzipped a dir...so deleting them isnt something i really care about...yet...is there any easy way to rename a mass of files? Just extensions now....

whoops....my brain was thinking faster than my fingers....dude i meant mv.....sorry
