I need to rename multiple files, as for example...

DSC00062.JPG
|
|
|
DSC00098.JPG

to...

Thanksgiving00062.JPG
|
|
|
Thanksgiving00098.JPG

I vaguely remember, in DOS, that I could type:

REN DSC*.JPG NAME*.JPG

But that won't handle long files names, plus it's a pain dropping into
the crappy DOS window.

Anyone know a trick or a utility (doesn't have to be free) that can do
this?

Thanks!

A simulation, struggling to converge, is telling you something
Pay attention !-)

Since you mention JPG files, I assume you want to manage pictures. I use
IRFANVIEW which will rename and resize photos and move to another directory
all in a batch. Selection and renaming are like regular expressions or
wildcards. Nice windows interface to view and edit the pix. You can do
lots of damage with the batch comands so be careful.
