Subject: renaming a group of files


Folks,

There are times I feel like I know UNIX really well and then
there are times when I fell like I know nothing.  This is one
of those times when I fell like I don't know a thing!

What I have is number of files that I would like to rename:

file1.txt -> TheTestFile1.txt
file2.txt -> TheTestFile2.txt
file3.txt -> TheTestFile3.txt

I keep running into this type of thing.  I have a feeling that
there is a simple way to do it with a bit of shell
programming, but I am clueless.  Does anyone have any
thoughts?

Sam
