moving and renaming multiple files



moving and renaming multiple files



greetings,

i know i can use the mv command to move and rename one file. how can i do this with multiple files?

example
pic01.bmp to pic0001.bmp

how can i perform this function on an entire directory of sequential files and keep them in sequence?


hints, suggestions are most welcome

cheers
