Renaming Multipal Folders

[paragnehete]

Hi Team,
I have around 150+ folders in one directory. All contains some pdf files. Now i want to give some prefix no. to folder only not the files inside. How can i give the prefix to all my folders?

Eg : OLD FOLDER NEW FOLDER
ABC/ 8562-ABC/
AABC/ 8562-AABC/

Thank You,
Parag Nehete.

Did you checked rename command ?

man rename

Or else you can do a script a like

#find . -type d -exec mv {} {}-new \;

If you have a dir with sub-dirs named 1,2,3,4,5 and after running above command you will get 1-new,2-new,3-new,4-ne,5-new.
Please modify them to meet your requirement.

Thanks Lakshmi.....its really useful but actually i want to give the same no to all folders. Eg. There are 10 folders in one directory (Folder-1,Folder-2.......Folder-10) so i want to add "8953" to all folders.(8953-Folder-1 , 8953-Folder-2......8953-Folder-10)
