Suffixes Rename_Anomaly - Renaming batch files in Livecode

[stephen barncard]

Good one Mike.   Now I have to find out how to detect and filter the damn
things. The list of songs on the right comes from some very old CD and DAT
labeling stacks that were saved as RTF.

What's happening is that I'm transferring all my DAT tapes to a hard drive
archive, but all I get are files named marker 1.aiff, marker 2.aiff as the
indexes turn the sections into files. I have corresponding labels with song
listings that correspond to the indexes. This stack I'm creating now just
matches those old lists with the sequential  generic named files and renames
them.
