Don't know, maybe because everyone uses mv to rename? But this sure looks
easier than a for loop:
RENAME(1) Linux Programmer's Manual RENAME(1)
NAME
rename - Rename files
SYNOPSIS
rename from to file...
DESCRIPTION
rename will rename the specified files by replacing the first
occurrence of from in
their name by to.
For example, given the files foo1, ..., foo9, foo10, ..., foo278, the
commands
rename foo foo0 foo?
rename foo foo0 foo??
will turn them into foo001, ..., foo009, foo010, ..., foo278.
And
rename .htm .html *.htm
will fix the extension of your html files.
SEE ALSO
mv(1)
ps. I didn't know it existed either :-)
