Post code you have.

Try this:

#include <File.au3>
$DIR = FileSelectFolder("SELECT","")
$COUNT = 1
$SEARCH = InputBox("SEARCH","File to search","goofy.jpg")
$FILE = _FileListToArray($DIR,"*" & StringRight($SEARCH,4),1)
If IsArray($FILE) Then
For $INDEX = 1 To $FILE[0]
    $NAME = StringStripWS($FILE[$INDEX],8)
    If $SEARCH = $NAME Then
        RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /C REN "' & $DIR & '\' & $FILE[$INDEX] & '" "' & $DIR & '\' & StringTrimRight($SEARCH,4) & '_' & $COUNT & StringRight($SEARCH,4)&'"',$DIR, @SW_HIDE)
        $COUNT += 1
    EndIf
Next
EndIf

badguy,

it's a command line script that rename file in given directory.

as command line script you MUST compile it with :

Aut2exe.exe /in badguy.au3 /out badguy.exe /console /unicode

Syntax :

badguy c:\yourpath\*.jpg

if not exist .ini, .exe create badguy.ini whit follow structure :

z;r

g;z

first letter (es: z) is what you want to change

second letter (es: r) is what first letter change to

gozzo.doc -> zorro.doc

Several controls are inserted to avoid error in command line,

so code appear a bit 'dirty'.

thank you all for help,

m.

- rename with progressive number on end of file name, solved !

go ofy.jpg -> goofy.jpg

g o o f y.jpg -> goofy_1.jpg

g o o f y.jpg -> goofy_2.jpg

- add ability to rename files in directory as progressive numbers (switch used) :

goofy.jpg -> 000001.jpg

my holidays.jpg -> 000002.jpg

your mad dog.jpg -> 000003.jpg

...

post code (to clean)
