If this is to rename individual files from 192.168.30.0=>192.168.30.144 then
for (( i = 0 ; i <= 143; i++ )) do mv 192.168.30.$i 10.0.30.$i done
thank you
You're welcome.

If you are just renaming directories, or files, and not files in directories, the following should work:
for i in 0 144 184 ; do mv dir-192.168.30.$i dir-10.0.30.$i ; done
Or in a bit prettier form:
for i in 0 144 184 do mv dir-192.168.30.$i dir-10.0.30.$i done

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

What's wrong with the rename command?

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/'`
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

Was there an problem with Frank's response from earlier?
rename 192.168 10.0 dir*
It is a nice simple solution. You don't have to loop, or use extra commands, just copy and paste that one command to your machine, and all directories will be renamed. I just did it on 1000 directories, and it took 0.052 seconds:
[mike@test-box test]$ ls -ld dir-192.168.0.* | wc -l 1000 [mike@test-box test]$ time rename 192.168 10.0 dir*
real 0m0.052s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.040s [mike@test-box test]$ ls -ld dir-10.0.0.* | wc -l 1000
