Hi Jon,

what about ...?

a) s1:~/kk #mkdir kk
b) s1:~/kk #cd kk   //playground :-)
c) s1:~/kk #for j in 1 2 3 4 5;do cat > theme-name[$j].tar.gz;done //with
5 ctrl-D I have some test files
d) s1:~/kk # for j in 1 2 3 4 5;do mv theme-name[$j].tar.gz
theme-name$j.tar.gz;done    //like this you rename every
"theme-name[1].tar.gz" file to "theme-name1.tar.gz", for instance (j
equals 1 for the 1st iteration, 2 for the second ...). You can
modify the procedure to meet your needs as you wish...

ps: I am playing with "bash" 
pss: if this is not powerful enough for you,
you can always go meet Mr.awk ... I think that O'Reilly (typical!) has a
very good book about it. You will tell us...

I hope that this may be useful to you.

bye!
