Nope:


[barry@templeton ~]$ touch bbl_123
[barry@templeton ~]$ touch bbl_456
[barry@templeton ~]$ ls -al bbl_*
-rw-r--r-- 1 barry users 0 Apr 28 11:06 bbl_123
-rw-r--r-- 1 barry users 0 Apr 28 11:06 bbl_456
[barry@templeton ~]$
[barry@templeton ~]$ mv bbl_### qqq_###
mv: cannot stat ‘bbl_###’: No such file or directory
[barry@templeton ~]$
[barry@templeton ~]$ mv bbl_* qqq_*
mv: target ‘qqq_*’ is not a directory


However:


[barry@templeton ~]$ for x in $(ls bbl_*) ; do
> y=$(echo $x | sed 's/bbl_/qqq_/g')
> mv $x $y
> done
[barry@templeton ~]$ ll bbl_*
ls: cannot access bbl_*: No such file or directory
[barry@templeton ~]$ ll qqq_*
-rw-r--r-- 1 barry users 0 Apr 28 11:06 qqq_123
-rw-r--r-- 1 barry users 0 Apr 28 11:06 qqq_456
[barry@templeton ~]$


Enjoy!
