Changing long lists of filenames using a spreadsheet?

Jan 7, 2005 5:49AM PST

My wife and I own a retail store. For creating our website we prefer to use detailed filenames and alt text for the images of the merchandise. So my question is, is there a quick way to change these over.

I'd like to have a spreadsheet where I type in the digital camera auto generated filename in one column and the preferred filename in the other:

eg.

Image300343.bmp | RL_polo_red.bmp

granted there is no conversion of filetype going on and that the filename is short enough. Has anyone ever done this before?
