if you have Python on Windows
import os
import fileinput
path=os.path.join("c:\\","test")
for r,d,f in os.walk(path):
for files in f:
if "ultra" in files:
newfile=files.replace("ultra","extra")
os.rename( os.path.join(r,files) , os.path.join(r,newfile) )
save the script as myscript.py and on command line
c:\test> python myscript.py
