ROTFL *patsch* of course.
But -- Does somebody know:
If these filenames are separated by whitespace,
you could split() the line, test each item for the '?'
(if item[0]=='?') and then replace as above.
Is this faster than using re?
I read sometimes, res are not so performant, when 
aplied to simple patterns and should be avoided if possible.
