Thank you for the script and the guidelines to save it, it was, as you
said successful.
I like that Linux has so many options to solve a problem.
And I am grateful for this community which has always been willing to
assist.
Thank you

Thanks Duncan, I got this ...
andrew@andrew:~/Working/20191007-DuchessDank/Rename-1$ rename 6H9A 6J9A
6H9A*
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 5) line 1, near "#line 1
6H9A"
(Missing operator before H9A?)
syntax error at (user-supplied code) line 3, near "6H9A"

I don't understand the fault, but I am sure that it would trivial to fix
Thank you

Hi Andrew McG
Thank you for this
#!/bin/bash
for filex in 6H9*
do
mv -v "${filex}" "${filex/6H9/6J9}"
done
It worked well, just ran it in the directory where the files were.
Very grateful
Andrew
Hi Kim,
I understand the time stamping thing is a great way to ensure each file
is unique in name, but I upload files of the models I shoot to a Google
drive folder and then send them a link, without prejudice, I suspect
that many would have trouble with the long file names. If they want to
discuss a shot they just quote the 4 digits on the end.
I thank you for your substantial and excellent proposition, which would
have me renaming all of my files. Just renaming as above allows me to
correct the few files that need it (in this case 85) and the camera
numbering scheme can be changed every 10,000 images in camera.
Thank you
Andrew Greig
