So, using kennethk's input, I kind of hacked this up...? I can kind of see how it works...

I looked at the perldocs linked in the replies, and I'm still working through them trying to understand all the various differences.

the file I'm working with looks something like this:

gOrd_3342.png

gOrd_3343.png

500k of those going down a file. I need to leave all 500k of those with "Ord_xxxx.png. I have yet to try either of mentioned options, but my idea here is to figure this out and learn at the same time, and not simply get an answer I can plug in and call it quits. Thanks.
