If a person had for example around 3000 jpg files, all called
fredbloggs.jpg, junebloggs.jpg etc.

And wanted to change them to SITE1FB1.jpg SITE1JB1.jpg

How would one go about doing this ?

I have the list of names in rows in an excel spreadsheet column1 being
what they are now and column2 being what they should be.

Is there a quick and easy way ?

I asked a similar question on here about 3 years ago and Dan White
suggested

I don't know if it will meet your needs exactly (I don't have time to
look) but it was highly effective and did exactly what I wanted.

I'd go a bit fancier and pass it through awk, to be re-usable :-)

I'm assuming you don't know how to turn the spreadsheet into a batch file
(otherwise you wouldn't have asked).

Send it to me and I'll do it for you.

You now have two places marked in the file.
Now press <esc> then : and on the vim command line type
'a,'bs/^/mv /
this substitutes the start of the line from mark a to mark b with mv and
a space. Repeat the process to remove commas, make it executable, stick a
shebang at the top and Robert is your mothers brother.

Unfortunately however this is of no use to someone with an excel related
problem.
