texte = Jesse, found this on MAc OSX hints a few months ago when I needed the same thing .. I found that I needed to do like 100 at a time and it wasn't going to cut it to pass one file at a time.This is what I did:1. if you don't have a bin directory in your home directory make one go to the terminal and tyepmkdir bin 2. the in the bin directory create a file called 'fle' with your favorite editor and then put in this oneline:for T in `ls -a $*`; do perl -pi -e 's/rn?/n/g' $T; doneI chose T for no particular reason.3. Save he file and in the terminal type: chmod 755 fle while in the bin directory.4. If you want to use it right away, you need to first close whatever terminal window you'reusing and open a new one. For some reason when creating new shell scripts this has to be donebefore you can execute them.That's it. Now when you want to do a whole directory you can do:fle * (or simply fle by itself)or specify file-names: fle *.php or fle myfile.txtit will work with one or mulitple files.Best part is you can set the permissions and run it from WebCat ..
