now to rename multiple files

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I have several hundred files in one directory which I need to move to another directory with the new extension, for example:
/bb/data/rptmgr* are in the source directory need to be moved to
/bb/data55/rptmgr*.new
Is there an efficient way to do it? Thanks -A

2 
cd /bb/data
for f in rptmgr* ; do
   mv $f /bb/data55/$f.new
done

...efficient enough? :smiley:
