I am using XXCopy for backup (big surprise). I take a daily 
full /backup and hourly incrementals (based on file time/date). I am 
finding that putting the hourly backups into /$HH$00 folders is 
becoming a little bit unwieldy. I know that XXCopy does not do file 
renaming itself. I want to append "-/$YYMMDD$/$HH$00" to all files in 
a given directory tree and flatten the first directory layer 
(currently "/$HH$00"). I have seen several scripts for renaming files 
(notably from Garry Deane), but sadly making sense of the regular 
expressions used in these scripts is currently beyond me. :(

I need something that I can give a directory name as an argument that 
will append "/$YYMMDD$/$HH$00-" to all files found under that 
directory tree and flatten the first layer (currently in the format 
1100, 1200, 1300, etc) of directory.

Any ideas?
