The auto-increment operator and the -v option of mv are not standard, so use zsh, ksh93 or bash to run the script.
I'm assuming there are no embedded newlines in the filenames.
Code:
c=0
find . -type f -name '*.dat' |
while IFS= read -r; do
mv -v -- "$REPLY" "${REPLY%/*}/$(( ++c )).dat"
done
If you want standard code, you should use something like this:
Code:
$(( c = c + 1 ))
... and you should remove the -v option from the mv command.
P.S. I don't remember if read without varname is standard, to lazy to check it right now
