We use a file naming system that includes a four letter
code at the beginning of the name to designate what
project the files belong to. We often copy files from one
project to the next and have to change the four letter
code. Is there an easy way to change the first four
letters of a selected group of files to a new set of four
letters? i.e. rename "ABCD*.*" "EFGH*.*"
