Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I created file like this

AAb.lol
AAc.lol
AAx.lol
test.sh

My goal is to create a script (test.sh) which renames all the files to their original name without AA. I want to end up with this:
b.lol
c.lol
x.lol

Using sed how is it possible?

i tried to write the script

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for i in $( ls ); do
    NewName='sed' 's/AA//g' '$i'
    mv '$i' $NewName
done

The output however is a lot of times this:

From that 2nd line i can tell that $NewName is just empty. I also read something about sed needing the -e option for scripting purposes but i just don't understand it

Code:

for file in AA*; do
  mv "$file" "${file#AA}"
done
