How to rename with prefixsuffix
How to rename with prefix/suffix
In Bash and zsh you can do this with Brace Expansion. This simply expands a list of items in braces. For example:
# echo {vanilla,chocolate,strawberry}-ice-cream
vanilla-ice-cream chocolate-ice-cream strawberry-ice-cream
So you can do your rename as follows:
mv {,new.}original.filename
as this expands to:
mv original.filename new.original.filename
