small programming question

[Oliver Vecernik]

Hi Claude,

> Could someone help. I have chosen a bad naming convention for a long list, and 
> I need to make a small alteration. The list looks like the following
> 001-Fig 1-1.jpg   
> 013-Fig 4-4a.jpg  
> 024-Fig 5-6.jpg   
> 035-Fig 5-17.jpg
> etc...
> I would like to add a 0 to each group of three numbers at the beginning of 
> each name so that 001-Fig 1-1.jpg becomes 0010-Fig 1--1.jpg for example.
> Could someone help me with the quick way to do this?
