Well, since I started this never-ending thread, maybe I can introduce a new,
but very related question to my original -
Given that my original question had to with generating a script/program to add
a number to the end of the number part of a long series of file names that
included both a number and a descriptive, and since I see that there were
many different approaches to solving this little problem, all of which were
way above my head, I would like to tackle one language and start learning
some programming/scripting skills. So, if you guys had it to start all over,
and were essentially rank beginners, which language would you tackle first?
And now I'll duck my head ;-)
