just use this: mv "$f" "$chg",
when your filenames are using spaces and other weird characters
Also, I would suggest removing trailing spaces from filename

There is 'sed' and there is 'bash' and there are combinations of the
two. If you were really asking about sed then help-gnu-utils would be
the better place. But in this case your use of 'sed' was okay but
it really was your use
bash: 002: command not found
mv: target `(www.somewhere.net).jpg' is not a directory
bash: 003: command not found
mv: target `(www.somewhere.net).jpg' is not a directory
What am I doing wrong?
Thankyou all in advance.
