Hi.
Have a bunch of files with the basic naming of:
ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_001__parse.dat
ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa_1__WGS_7500_002__parse.dat
etc..
I'd like to simply remove the 1st part ztcloud_nfs_parsezt from the
files, renaming the files to the rest of the filename..
Thought it should be simple using rename
rename 's/ztcloud_nfs_parseztaa/aa/' zt*.dat
Read the man page again. The pattern is just a text string, not a regex
or sed-type command.

There appears to be 2 different "rename" programs out in the world. The
Fedora rename uses a text string for the pattern, but on my Mint box the
pattern is a sed-like substitution. Confusing ?
