You can also do:

prename -v 's/meetthegimp=mobile([0-9]+).mp4/meetthegimp$1-mobile.mp4/' meetthegimp=mobile*.mp4

prename is also probably linked to by rename and comes with PERL, so it should already be on your system.

I have a bunch of files named "meetthegimp=mobile999.mp4" where 999 is
any 3 digit number.  I want to rename them all to be
"meetthegimp999-mobile.mp4".

Can anyone give me a mv or rename command to do them all in one fell
swoop?  I could probably figure one out but it would take more time due
to having to make test cases and doing trial and error than just asking
you folks.  Thanks in advance.
