And if tab-completion can't grab it yet, try something like this pseudo<BR>
code in C or perl:<BR>
<BR>
int i=1<BR>
for each $folder in $currentworkingdir{<BR>
rename $folder $i<BR>
i++<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
I think that will grab them without ever knowing their original names,<BR>
and rename the folders to 1,2,3,4, etc.<BR>
