Hi Experts,<br />
I have a bunch of files in a folder in a linux system which have names like<br />
<br />
&nbsp;10.20.20.122_334 -showcerts<br />
10.22.23.223_8080 -showcerts<br />
<br />
I just need the files in the names -- 10.20.20.122_334 (without the -showcerts)<br />
<br />
how do I rename the files or move the files to a new folder like I want?
