Hi Phil

thank you

But I have several hundred those pattern directories!

I did think to cat those directories in a file "olddir"

eg:

dir-192.168.30.0 dir-192.168.30.144 dir-192.168.30.184 ........................................

and sed 's/dir-192.168/dir-10.0/g' olddir > newdir

but i don't know how to move rename the directories in olddir to newdir

Thank you again

Assuming dir-192.168* are all in one directory level, cd to that dir:

for olddir in `ls -1 | grep dir-192.168` do newdir=`echo $olddir | sed 's/^dir-192.168/dir-10.0/'` mv $olddir $newdir done

That sed line should be: 's/^dir-192.168/dir-10.0/'`
