Yes, thanks for pointing that out, it would have to be put into a
loop then.
# for dir in `find <parent dir> -type d -name dir-192.168.\* -print`; do
# mv $dir `echo $dir | sed 's/192\.168\./10\.0\./'`
# done
I also just saw the earlier post on the 'rename' command which does it
all for the OP and should be a lot faster then a shell script.
