Try:

That should recursively rename all directories from one
naming scheme to
another.
... except for the fact that the `echo {} ...` will be evaluated by the shell and not find, so this is the same as:
find <parent dir> -type d -name dir-192.168.* -exec mv {} {} ;
Not very useful ;)
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.
