Rename File

by MFB <mfb.sitspin@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Nov 14, 2007 at 11:21 PM

Does anyone know an Applescript to re-arrange/rename a files in a folder?

I have about a thousand pdf's that need to be renamed.  Right now the 
files are uniformly named along the lines of

xxxx01012004.pdf

where xxxx is text and 01012004 is the date of the do***ent contained in 
the pdf.

I want to change the above file name to

xxxx20040101.pdf

essentially moving the year (2004) from the end of the file name to the 
5th thru 8th characters of the file name.

Has anyone heard of such a script?
