Re: [gentoo-user] Changing names of LOTS of files, adding to them actually.

Sorry, did not read your message to the end.

So the sixth line on that script, on your case, instead of:

      j=`echo $i | sed s/\ \-\ unwantedString//`

should be:

      j="Person of Interest - "$i

I guess that's it. You will have to open a console at the directory where
your movies are in.
