Drive F

1st Folder PMI

Sub Folder 61

2nd Sub folder QMEDEX

3rd Sub Folder QMEDANS

File name 01-J-3 Quiz A.docx

Desired name 01-10-3 Quiz a.docx

I need to know the exact syntax

The other files that I want to rename have 01, 02, 04 etc in the first number and 3, 4, 5 in the 3rd number

I only want to change the "J" into a "10"

Thanks
