The filename, that i want to rename:

---vol.-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3;

commands, that doesn't work:

$ rename 's/^---//g' *
Unknown option: -vol.-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3;
Usage: rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlexpr [filenames]


$ rename 's/.-/-/g' *
Unknown option: -vol.-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3;
Usage: rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlexpr [filenames]


$ rename 's/;$//g' *
Unknown option: -vol.-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3;
Usage: rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlexpr [filenames]


What is the regexp to get this filename?:

vol-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3

Thank you:)

I guess I'm not really sure what you want, but if all you want
to do is rename

---vol.-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3;

to

vol-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3

The command is

mv -- ---vol.-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3\; vol-01-disk-cantatas-bwv-3

Two things are significant. First, the double hyphen (--) after mv
tells mv that this is the end of the options list and anything after
it that starts with a hyphen is to be interpreted as a command
argument instead of a command option. Second, the backslash (\) in front
of the semicolon (;) causes the semicolon to be interpreted by the shell
as part of the filename and not as a command separator. Normally,
the semicolon is used to separate multiple commands on a single line.

The problem is not the syntax of rename but the name of the files beginning with
'-'. So try something like

$ rename 's/^---//g' ./*

where the shell expands the filenames to "./---vol1 ./---vol2 ...". Then the
rename command doesn't interpret the filenames as switches.

(Sorry, forgot to adapt the regular expression in my previous mail.)
The problem is not the syntax of rename but the name of the files beginning with
'-'. So try something like

$ rename 's|^\./---||g' ./*

where the shell expands the filenames to "./---vol1 ./---vol2 ...". Then the
