a regex question ..

Hello

I am trying to rename a list of files by changing any single digits in
the names to a zero and the digit, eg 7 -> 07.

Problem is there may be 2 instances in the name and the code below
only works for the first single digit - how can I deal with both
instances?


if ($name =~ /^(.*?)\-(\d{1})\D(.*?)$/ ) {
my $num = $2;

rename ($name, "new-" . $1 . "-" . "0" . $num . "-" . $3);

I have tried using tr/// but cannot see how to do it.

My guess would be that the above is not the best way to go about this!

Cheers

Geoff
