I need a script written or existing tool that will take two variables such as file names in a particular directory(12345.jpg), read in a file (CSV perhaps) that looks something like this...

MatchingColumn RenameColumn
12345 XYZ123

and rename 12345.jpg to XYZ123.JPG

Essentially it renames files in a directory from a list.

Can anyone help? Ideally it would run in a batch process.

Thanks

I can do it for $$$.

you could write excel VBA to do that in a couple of lines.

I was thinking perl.

string filename = "blah.txt"
dir > filename
string newfilename = ""
while (filename.readline()!=null){
newfilename += "crapyouwannaaddon" + filename.readline()
system.out("mv .\"+filename+".\"+newfilename)
}
that template should be close to what ypu need in a ton of languages
