Hya all,

Just wondering if you can help.

I would like to rename a large number of files by stipping of the first
35 chars.

Short of writing a script to do this, is there a way it can be done from
the console using find/ls/cut etc, I know it can be done with sed/awk
but I've not had a lot of success with them (lack off experience)

So if someone could point me in the right direction would be much
appreciated.
