Look for a windows version of vi. It's brilliant at this sort of thing. Sorry I don't know of the location off the top of my head but google will find one for sure. Just type "free windows vi"
Ok I did that just to see.. And the first selection was http://www.winvi.de/en/ It looks like the trick.

My dilemma is that my 1D Mk 2 names the files in the XXXXnnnn.jpg format (where X denotes an alphabetic character and n denotes a numeric character), which I then keep unchanged for future reference, but one of the group I must provide the large quantity of files to insists on adding certain identifier to the file name but retain the numeric portion, i.e. they want the final file name to be YYYYnnnn.jpg, or I suppose the file name can also be YYYY_XXXXnnnn.jpg. Any suggestions for a quick and dirty (and cheap/free) batch utility to do this? Thanks in advance.
