Re^2: Weird rename error

I tried that, and it printed out the directories that its suppose to create:

mkdir S000471M37
mkdir S000471M37/20020206-091042
mkdir S000471M37/20020206-091042/268
could not rename 1.2.124.113532.172.16.48.200.20010514.120225.267932/1
+.2.840.113619.2.80.2162541498.1619.1046210641.2/1.2.840.113619.2.80.2
+162541498.1619.1046210641.3.dcm to S000471M37/20020206-091042/268/S00
+0471M37-20020206-091042-268-1.dcm: Is a directory
[download]

but after the program dies

ls -R S000471M37/
S000471M37/:
[download]

It only likes to create the first level directory.

Thank you all for your input. I have found the source of my headaches. I decided to print `mkdir` and `rename` commands out to a file and execute the list of commands from that file and noticed something weird. The $filename and $dir_path variables contained unreadable characters, which did not print out during the execution of the script, but did print out to a file. Using regular expressions, I was able to remove the unwanted characters.. and so far so good! Everything is being renamed as it should. Thanks again all for your input.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
