Unix scripting will save you time in the long run. Really!

To do the same command, like zcore, for example, on a bunch of ﬁles, doing this in the command
line, use a command like this:
for i in `ls -1 *.nii`; do echo $i; zscore.pl -i $i; done
More complicated versions in a script:
ext=’gz’
log=/dev/null; for i in `ls -1 *.$ext 2>$log`; do NAME=`basename $i .$ext`; echo “File: $NAME” ;echo “Moving
$NAME.$ext to $NAME.$newext”; done

if you want to do more complicated things, changing names, for example, resort to perl.
also, FYI, you can run a perl command in a single line on the command line. This is good for regular expression
matching:
name=`echo $FILENAME | perl -p -e ’s/(.+)\.gz/$1/i’`
