Windows 10: Rename Files using CMD but keep suffix/prefrix?

Hi!

I'm using command prompt to rename files. Most of the files are easy renames such as "hhs.pdf" renamed to "Hospice House Services.pdf". However, I do have some files that need to have individual suffixes.
Ex. Verbal Order 49778, Verbal Order 49803, Verbal Order 49804

I would like to be able to take the file name "vo 49778.pdf" and use a cmd to rename it to "Verbal Order 49778.pdf".
So, rename the "vo" part, but keep the suffix. Is this possible?

The current cmd I'm using is: ren "vo.pdf" "Verbal Order.pdf"
Which works great... if there's no suffix or prefix.


*I am using this method as my company will not currently allow any new program downloads. Otherwise, I'd just download a file renaming program and call it a day. However, it's not allowed so I'm trying to work with what I have.

Windows 10 version 1809

Thanks!

:)

File renamer utility?

Is there a good file renamer utility that's safe to use anyone could recommend? I used to use Gizmo's list for app suggestions but this particular application has not been reviewed in several years, so I don't know if those apps are safe to use or not.

I have many files I need to rename but keep the individuality of the names. For instance, I need to rename all files in a particular folder from yyyy.mm.pdf to AMEXyyyy.mm.pdf keeping the yyyy.mm data unique. Another folder has a ton of files that need to be renamed from yyyy.mm.pdf to Visayyyy.mm.pdf.

I had all this figured out a month or so back but have already forgotten how I did it using an arcane script in either cmd prompt or powershell, I can't remember which. And now I'm drawing a blank how to do it. Again. smh. So I thought a nice freeware file renamer might help me out.
