Hi Stefano (anzi, 'ciao!'),

Thank you very much -- that has helped me tremendously. I have one 
further question though. What if, instead of the number "9", I wanted to 
copy the file with the HIGHEST number.

For example, my files might be

example1.txt
example2.txt
test1.txt
test2.txt
test3.txt

If I wanted to change example2.txt to example-final.txt, and test3.txt 
to test-final.txt, how could I iterate throught the files to find the 
file with the highest number?

Grazie mille per qualsiasi aiuto,
Sam
