simple batch renaming...45-*.php to 46-*.php
in Bash i'm trying to rename directories full of files. the file name pretty much stays the same except for the numerical prefix which will be the same for all files. so, i want to rename these...
45-body.php 45-header.php 45-footer.php etc. to... 46-body.php 46-header.php 46-footer.php etc. i tried using mv 45-*.php 46-*.php and of course that didn't work. i should be able to do this without writing a complete script right?

Don't know if this will work in bash, but it will work in ksh.
Code:
for file in 45-*.php
do
mv $file 46-${file#*-}
done
