Copy File and Rename

[St. Claire]

I need to copy about 200 files from one directory to another while
renaming them. Does anyone have a short script to do this?

TIA

for safe reasons do check that files are the correct one you are going to
move:
cd /dir;for i in *;do ls -al $i;done


example - this will move files to "newdir" with "newname" before old name.
You can also play with "basename":
for i in *;do mv $i /newdir/newname$i;done
