using sed in shell script

Hi all,

I have files with the following names;
Code:
afgcxa.pem4jan.rain.nc  
afgcxa.pem4feb.rain.nc    
afgcxa.pem4mar.rain.nc      
afgcxa.pem4apr.rain.nc

I want to rename them to
Code:
afgcxa.pem4-01.jan.rain.nc  
afgcxa.pem4-02.feb.rain.nc    
afgcxa.pem4-03.mar.rain.nc      
afgcxa.pem4-04.apr.rain.nc

I've been able to rename them as I require but only know how to do it "manually" i.e. one-by-one
Code:
mth="jan"
for file in $(ls *$mth.rain.nc); do
 mv $file $(echo $file | sed 's/'$mth'/-02.'$mth'/g')
done

The question is - how can i do this automatically so that sed reads jan, feb, mar etc? Also, how do i perform a counter i.e. 01, 02, 03?

Thanks, Muhammad.

NAME
bup-margin - figure out your deduplication safety margin SYNOPSIS
bup margin [options...] DESCRIPTION
bup margin iterates through all objects in your bup repository, calculating the largest number of prefix bits shared between any two entries. This number, n, identifies the longest subset of SHA-1 you could use and still encounter a collision between your object ids. For example, one system that was tested had a collection of 11 million objects (70 GB), and bup margin returned 45. That means a 46-bit hash would be sufficient to avoid all collisions among that set of objects; each object in that repository could be uniquely identified by its first 46 bits. The number of bits needed seems to increase by about 1 or 2 for every doubling of the number of objects. Since SHA-1 hashes have 160 bits, that leaves 115 bits of margin. Of course, because SHA-1 hashes are essentially random, it's theoretically possible to use many more bits with far fewer objects. If you're paranoid about the possibility of SHA-1 collisions, you can monitor your repository by running bup margin occasionally to see if you're getting dangerously close to 160 bits. OPTIONS
--predict Guess the offset into each index file where a particular object will appear, and report the maximum deviation of the correct answer from the guess. This is potentially useful for tuning an interpolation search algorithm. --ignore-midx don't use .midx files, use only .idx files. This is only really useful when used with --predict. EXAMPLE
$ bup margin Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done. 40 40 matching prefix bits 1.94 bits per doubling 120 bits (61.86 doublings) remaining 4.19338e+18 times larger is possible Everyone on earth could have 625878182 data sets like yours, all in one repository, and we would expect 1 object collision. $ bup margin --predict PackIdxList: using 1 index. Reading indexes: 100.00% (1612581/1612581), done. 915 of 1612581 (0.057%) SEE ALSO
