It's a command line, scripting language.

For instance, here are some threads:

Hi stanw, there are apps available but the Finder should get you covered.

You can do this in Finder..

Select files you want and on content menu rename..

Kinda basic task, but you could also look at "better file rename" for more advanced options.
