nice script,
I modified it a bit to be handle filenames with spaces (they are not a
good idea I know)

#!/bin/bash
old=$1
new=$2
for i in *$old;
do
    echo mv \"$i\" \"`basename "$i" $old`$new\";
done


I prefer it to print the commands on stdout first just to make sure
that everything is OK and then pipe the output to bash for the actual
renaming to happen.

cheers,
Alaa
