Unix gurus, how do you batch rename multiple folders

Lets say I have them 001, 002, 003 .. etc.. How can I rename them 200,201,202 or just do 1-001, 1-002, 1-003

Anyone knows a command or script?

I used this to rename extensions, should work on folders too:

just replace the "00" part with "200"

Check out "man rename". An example

rename 'foo' 'bar' dir*

dir_foo1/ becomes dir_bar1/
dir_foo2/ becomes dir_bar2/

For that specifically:
rename "" "1-" 0*

if you wanted to renaming inside the folders for say imagesr like akjs.jpg bigpacks.jpg etc and rename them to 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg.

Code:

#!/bin/bash



i=1; 

shopt -s nullglob; 



for f in *.{jpg,jpeg,JPG,JPEG,gif,GIF,png,PNG}; do     

        ext="${f##*.}"; 

        ext=${ext,,}; 

        ext=${ext/jpeg/jpg};     

        mv -- "$f" "newfolder/$i.${ext}";     

        ((i++)); 

done
