Here's one way. Navigate to the directory in the Terminal and enter on one line: ls | awk '{print("mv "$1)}' | sed 's/d_\(.*\)/d_\1 t_\1/' | /bin/sh You can also remove the " | /bin/sh" from the end to print out the commands without executing them (to make sure the command will do what you want it to do before actually running it).
