My above post was an interactive session, hence the "touch"es.

If you don't want to keep the changes, you can easily do (as long as there aren't a load of files....)

Code:

ls *mlcl* | sed 's/mlcl/mll/g'

Else; just do

Code:

ls | while read file; do
  echo "${file}" | sed 's/mlcl/mll/'
done

If you want to keep the filename change, just add in the mv.

Cheers
