Try:
# find <parent dir> -type d -name dir-192.168.* -exec mv {} `echo {} | sed 's/192.168./10.0./'` ;
That should recursively rename all directories from one naming scheme to another.

I run it but it has error.
sed 's/^dir-192.168/dir-10.0/'` sed: read error on dir-192.168.0.31: Is a directory

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/'`

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 ;)
Cheers, Michael

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.
