Naming Files from List Ref

Hi,

I have been lurking on the list for awhile now but have come across a problem which doesn't seem to have been answered in the archives.

I have some tiff files of a colour separated postscript file output from a RIP. I need to have the colour names added to the filenames before they are passed onto our colour proofing software. The filenames are in the form of :-
jobname_001.tif
jobname_002.tif
jobname_003.tif
jobname_004.tif
jobname_005.tif

The numbers corresponds to the separation numbers. I have extracted the separation names from the postscript file prior to ripping and have them in a text file in the format of:-
001_Cyan
002_Magenta
003_Yellow
004_Black
005_Pantone072

I need to replace the separation name with the colour name so that the tif files are named as follows:-
jobname_Cyan.tif
jobname_Magenta.tif
jobname_Yellow.tif
jobname_Black.tif
jobname_Pantone072.tif

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this will enabled us to avoid a costly RIP upgrade ($13,000).

Thanks in advance
Mathew
