Jon,

Open a console window, type in pico ~/fnclean.pl, and paste this in:

#!/usr/bin/perl

while (<STDIN>) {
    chomp($_);
    $oldfilename = $_;
    s/_//;
    $newfilename = $_;
    print "$oldfilename -> $newfilename...";
    `mv $oldfilename $newfilename`;
    print " done!\n";
}

Then press Control-O, hit enter, then press Control-X to save and quit pico. Then type in chmod 755 ~/fnclean.pl. Then call the program like this: ls /path/to/files/*.jpg | ~/fnclean.pl

The output will look like this:
[nanaki:~] idigital% ls /Users/idigital/*.jpg | ~/fnclean.pl
/Users/idigital/asdfkljhasdfil_73.jpg -> /Users/idigital/asdfkljhasdfil73.jpg… done!
/Users/idigital/foo_3.jpg -> /Users/idigital/foo3.jpg… done!

/Users/idigital/foobar_42453.jpg -> /Users/idigital/foobar42453.jpg… done!

Haha, cool, I just came across a post in a journal saying this:

“*grins* I just got IM’ed by himself. He just wanted to know how I found this site, but it was still kinda cool. Sorta like if Brad Fitzpatrick had IM’ed me the day I started my Livejournal.

Have I friended anyone here yet?
Maybe I’ll go friend . Yeah, I think I’ll do that. I almost did on LJ a few months ago, and I can’t remember why I didn’t. So, I’ll do it here and be different.”
