[SOLVED] Rename multiple files

Hi. I have a large number of files with names like:

t_ 0.20000E-02.dat

There is actually a space after the underscore. These files are numbered numerically, i.e. t_ 0.20000E-02.dat, t_ 0.21000E-02.dat, t_ 0.22000E-02.dat and so on.

What I would like to do is rename such that the file with the lowest numerical value becomes t1.dat, and the one next to it becomes t2.dat and so on.

I think what I have to do is find the number of files in the directory and sort them according to their numerical value. Then I have to do a loop over them to rename them accordingly. But this seems to be quite involved to me. Any ideas?

Thanks!

NAME
pactester - Tool to test proxy auto-config (pac) files. SYNOPSIS
pactester <-p pacfile> <-u url> [-h host] [-c client_ip] [-e] pactester <-p pacfile> <-f urlslist> [-c client_ip] [-e] DESCRIPTION
pactester is a tool to test proxy auto-config (pac) files. It returns the proxy config string for the given URL and the pac file. pactester uses pacparser C library for most of its functionality. OPTIONS
-p pacfile PAC file to test. Specify "-" to read from the standard input. -u url URL to test the PAC file for. -h host Host part of the URL. If not specified, it's determined from the URL. -c client_ip Client's IP address (as returned by the function myIpAddress() in PAC files). If not specified, it defaults to the IP address of the machine on which this tool is running. -e Enable Microsoft PAC extensions (dnsResolveEx, myIpAddressEx, isResolvableEx). -f urlslist A file containing the list of URLs to be tested. This is good for testing a PAC file against a set of URLs. EXAMPLES
To find out the proxy config string for the pac file "wpad.dat" and the URL "http://www.google.com": $ pactester -p wpad.dat -u http://www.google.com For a client with IP address 10.0.12.123: $ pactester -p wpad.dat -c 10.0.12.123 -u http://www.google.com For a pac file hosted at http://wpad/wpad.dat: $ curl -s http://wpad/wpad.dat | pactester -p - -u http://google.com BUGS
