Is there any way to batch rename files with unix, or does anyone know of a script that would do so?

I need to rename a couple thousand files and i don't want to do it by hand.

ie somedumfile63.ext to sdf63.ext

thanks for any help. I have been looking by my self for a week now with no luck. its for a BSD server

Hi! I think there is a move command:

mv FILE1 FILE2

I've heard of sed or something.

Will this help? :
