Hey Adrian,
        (This should work if you're trying to rename attribute 
values, not attribute names) 

A relatively easy way to do this might be to use the 
AttributeSplitter and use "10s20s" as the delimiter (asuming there's 
less than 20 characters after your first ten).  
This will basically trim the first 10 characters (ie. "data_feat_") 
and add it to a list.  

You should then be able to explode that list, then use the Attribute 
Filter to separate only those with said list name mylist{1} that has 
a value of "data_feat_".  

Once they're separated, the ones that don't have a value 
of "data_feat" leave them alone and re-connect them to the flow at 
the end.  Those with "data_feat_" use the attribute renamer to set 
the new attribute value to the mylist{2} value (see the 
AttributeSplitter description in FME).

Basically you're chopping off the first 10 letters of attributes, 
but only on those that start with "data_feat_"
Hope this helps
Steve
