    I have a daily program that just created over 1000 filespecs that range from:

    File0627x01.tif to File0627x1101.tif

    I set the date wrong which should have said File0625x....

    What's the easiest way to change the "7" in all the files to a "5 "?

    Get to a cmd prompt, change into the folder containing all of the files, type:

    ren File0627*.* File0625*.*​

    and press [Enter].
