multiple file renaming

say you have files like below...
jordba.package1
jordba.package2
jordba.package3

use the below:
for f in jordba.*; do mv "$f" "${f#jordba.}"; done

the above for loop will make your list like...

package1
package2
package3

========================


but there is another issue similar to the before that i have the files

x1_p.sql
x2_p.sql
x3_p.sql

and so on

i need to add h before .sql to be as the following:

x1_ph.sql
x2_ph.sql
x3_ph.sql


====================================

This should work for the data given by you above...

for f in *_p.sql ; do mv "$f" "${f%_p.sql}_ph.sql"; done


I hope these r helpful
