I still to this day can't believe that they open sourced the Netscape Directory Server platform. That is just amazing. That application is a frickin goldmine.. I'm learning more about ns-slapd recently than i ever wanted to know, but it seems the more I learn, the more impressed I become with how well they set it up. It truly is a great system, and I hope that RedHat keeps it up.

And now for a oneliner I dug up from my archive... (newlines added to prevent ugly non-wrappage..

perl -e

'for($fn="FILE_A0.TXT";$fn!~/^file_aaa0.txt$/i;$fn=~s/^(FILE_)([A-Z]+)

(?{$char_1=$^N})(\d)(?{$char_2=$^N;$char_2==9?($char_2=0,$char_1++)

:$char_2++})/$1$char_1$char_2/g){print"$fn\n";}'

think I wrote that for someone.. it increments alphanumeric filenames, where the last position is a number and all the other positions are letters. PRETTY NICE EH.

Enjoy :)
