Rename many files
Hi all

I have files in the following format:

01_anote1.pdf
01_bnote1.pdf
01_control1.pdf
01_ethics1.pdf
01_invoice1.pdf
01_invoice_21.pdf
20_quote_l1.pdf


I need to rename them to

01_anote.pdf
01_bnote.pdf
01_control.pdf
01_ethics.pdf
01_invoice.pdf
01_invoice_2.pdf
20_quote_l.pdf

That is, remove the 1 before the extension. Your help ppreciated.

Thanks

Lucas
