desiret output

trackXXX.mp3

i foud this can be done with this but did not work for me

Code:
for jmeno in *.mp3
do
  cp $jmeno /tmp/`echo $i | sed "s/\([0-9]\{2\}\).*/track0\1.mp3/"`
done
is this possible using bash and for loop, i am trying to learn something about bash scripting this is what i am intersted in
You are not taking into account the fact that there are spaces in the paths. Do it this way:

Code:
ls -1 *.mp3 | while read jmeno
do
  cp $jmeno /tmp/`echo $i | sed "s/\([0-9]\{2\}\).*/track0\1.mp3/"`
done
Only addressing the loop construction, not its contents.
