Hi all

I am looking for a script which will relink images that have changed part of their file name. OR a script which will rename AND relink if this is easier. At the moment I am using Automator to batch rename.

For instance, I have the following files:
20283 GN6E451.tif
20283 56529823.eps
20283 571589.eps

I want to change them so they are:
21483 GN6E451.tif
21483 56529823.eps
21483 571589.eps

So only the first part of the file names change (this is a job number). And then be able to tell InDesign that these are the same files. Is there a script available to do this?

Many thanks in advance!
