renaming token in our pattern. The ``+`` here means to construct
the sequence in *ascending* order. A ``-`` would specify
*descending* order.
 
There are many other renaming tokens and ways to construct
all manner of clever templates. These are discussed below in the
section entitled `TEMPLATE CONSTRUCTION`_.
 
Notice that there is *no old string* in our example above.
That is, there is nothing to the left of the ``=`` symbol
in the ``-r`` option. This effectively means "match anything"
in the existing file or directory name. If you were using
 
tren.py -x -r /$SYSNAME/*.bku=/$SYSNAME/*.bku.old
 
If your system name were "matrix", then the command above would only
rename files in the form ``matrix<anytext>bku``. If your system name
rename files in the form ``matrix<anytext>.bku``. If your system name
were "modar", then the command above would only rename files in the
form ``modar<anytext>bku``.
form ``modar<anytext>.bku``.
 
There are a couple of things to keep in mind when doing things like
this:
 
valid Python regular expression*. This may involve
explicit quoting of the renaming tokens used in the old
string specification.
