Is it possible to use mv with xargs?  Something like 

 ls -1 *regex* | xargs mv ${1} ${1}.suffix

or something like that?  I know there are other ways you could do
this, but I just wanted to know if it could be done with xargs...

TIA!

Do you think that when they asked George Washington
for ID that he just whipped out a quarter?
