Rename files with sed in an until loop (double post)
I want to change the name of some of my files (mypics-0001, mypics-0002, mypics-0003.....mypics-0240) and I want to double check to see if this code is right:

x=0
until [$x -ge 241]
do
sed 's/mypics\-*/bday/g'
done

Would this change all of my file names to "bday0001....bday0240"?

Please let me know- thanks for all your help
