[TriLUG] File renaming question

[Mike Norwood]

Hello,

I think this should be really easy, but am growing dumber as I age.  I 
need to be able to take an undetermined number of files, could be 1 or 2, 
could be 30 and move them to another directory as file1, file2, file3, 
etc.  The names in the first directory could apparently be anything, 
and I am not concerned with the order they are renamed, just as long as 20 
files comes out as file1 through file20.  Please let me know if this 
question is confusing, and I can try to give more details.

Thanks in advance for any help.
