I have some files archived with an online storage facility (Digital Railroad). Recently I had need to download some of the files to replace files that I'd mistakenly deleted but I've found that the files have been renamed with Digital Railroad's own Image ID. I've asked them to provide me with a data extract listing their Image ID beside my corresponding Filename.

Does anyone know of a way that I can rename a series of JPEG files using this data extract?

I'm using iView on a PC (XP) and perhaps it's possible to write a script that will look up the Image ID and then batch rename although doing so is outside of my knowledge. I'm also using an app called The Rename (http://www.herve-thouzard.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=1), which I find very versatile (and free) but can't see anything there that would allow me to do this.

Perhaps I'm overlooking a very obvious solution? Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received.
