Store all file name in one temporary file
ls *filename*.doc > Temp.tmp
Now use the loop to remove value line by line
For Line in $(cat Temp.tmp);
do mv Line "yourSting".line;
done
This will give a good idea on how to do it
This is bad advice. That is a useless use of cat and a useless use of ls * and a useless use of backticks, not to mention a dangerous use of backticks! Also, a pointless use of temporary file. I often see two or three of these habits, but to see all five of them simultaneously is interesting. Remember that ls doesn't expand *, the shell does, so you can feed it straight into for.
A simpler and safer version is
Remove the echo once you've gotten some-destination-string as exactly what you want it to be.
Rudic, yours is better, but there's no point using a pipe there -- too many arguments for for would also be too many arguments for ls, it doesn't help you.

vfs_crossrename
VFS_CROSSRENAME(8) System Administration tools VFS_CROSSRENAME(8)NAME
vfs_crossrename - server side rename files across filesystem boundaries
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = crossrename
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_crossrename VFS module allows server side rename operations even if source and target are on different physical devices. A "move"
in Explorer is usually a rename operation if it is inside of a single share or device. Usually such a rename operation returns
NT_STATUS_NOT_SAME_DEVICE and the client has to move the file by manual copy and delete operations. If the rename by copy is done by the
server this can be much more efficient. vfs_crossrename tries to do this server-side cross-device rename operation.
There are however limitations that this module currently does not solve:
The ACLs of files are not preserved,
meta data in EAs are not preserved,
renames of whole subdirectories cannot be done recursively, in that case we still return STATUS_NOT_SAME_DEVICE and let the client
decide what to do,
rename operations of huge files can cause hangs on the client because clients expect a rename operation to return fast.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
crossrename:sizelimit = BYTES
server-side cross-device-renames are only done for files if the filesize is not larger than the defined size in MiB to prevent
timeouts. The default sizelimit is 20 (MiB)
EXAMPLES
To add server-side cross-device renames inside of a share for all files sized up to 50MB:
[testshare]
path = /data/mounts
vfs objects = crossrename
crossrename:sizelimit = 50
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0.0 of the Samba suite.
