ran but didn't work.

I need to strip "OOo_1.1.2_LinuxIntel_install/" from each arg before it gets passed to rm

for i in `tar tfz ~/downloads/OOo_1.1.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz`; do echo "$i"|cut -c 30-;done
will print out the files I want to rm such as
f_0430
f_0431
f_0432

but
for i in `tar tfz ~/downloads/OOo_1.1.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz`; do rm "$i"|cut -c 30-;done
gives me
rm: cannot remove `OOo_1.1.1_LinuxIntel_install/f_0432': No such file or directory

Anyway, I got the family pics to be vertical and the right size for a web page in a shell with
mogrify -rotate "-90>" *.jpg
mogrify -scale '350>x' *.jpg
and had so much fun that I am still too lightheaded for more just now.  It was such a hassle doing it by hand.
