Hi folks

Bit sort of off topic but hopefully ok

I have some 350 picture files with names along the lines of "IMG_7127 EOS-1D Mark III copy.jpg" i would like to rename them all to more like "IMG_7127.jpg" i have tried a few times tonight and cant get my head around it anyone got a script that can do it
