I am trying to automate the movement and renaming of a number of files in a directory. I am using the 'mv' command as I do not have access to 'rename'. I have the following scripted
which works perfectly when there is only one file in the directory, but when there are multiple files I get the following error
Greetings,
I know i can use the mv command to move and rename one file. How can I do this with multiple files?
example
pic01.bmp to pic0001.bmp
how can i perform this function on an entire directory of sequential files and keep them in sequence?
Hints, suggestions are most welcome:)

gtk-update-icon-cache
GTK-UPDATE-ICON-C(1) [FIXME: manual] GTK-UPDATE-ICON-C(1)NAME
gtk-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility
SYNOPSIS
gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only] [--source [name]] [--quiet] [--validate] {iconpath}
DESCRIPTION
gtk-update-icon-cache creates mmap()able cache files for icon themes.
It expects to be given the path to a icon theme directory containing an index.theme, e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a
icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the directory tree below the given directory.
GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application
starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption
is reduced as well.
OPTIONS --force, -f
Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be uptodate.
--ignore-theme-index, -t
Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to
create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the toplevel directory of an icon theme.
--index-only, -i
Don't include image data in the cache.
--source, -c
Output a C header file declaring a constant name with the contents of the icon cache.
--quiet, -q
Turn off verbose output.
--validate, -v
Validate existing icon cache.
BUGS
None known yet.
