Install the package mmv and then do: mmv "meetthegimp=mobile*.mp4" "meetthegimp#1-mobile.mp4"
That should take care of it.... don't forget the quotes. It needs them even if there aren't any spaces and such.

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. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
