Swop postions of characters in a file name
Im hoping someone here can help me with the following please?!
I need to change the position of 3 characters in a set of file names.
I have the follow file name structure c2pMOW051102_winds.nc. I need to change the position of the characters c2p to MOW051102c2p_winds.nc.
Can this be done using the 'sed' command? Or does any one know any other way of doing this?
Thanks for any help!

NAME
XmTextFieldPosToXY -- A TextField function that accesses the x and y position of a character position
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/TextF.h>
Boolean XmTextFieldPosToXY(
Widget widget,
XmTextPosition position,
Position *x,
Position *y);
DESCRIPTION
XmTextFieldPosToXY accesses the x and y position, relative to the upper left corner of the TextField widget, of a given character position
in the text buffer.
widget Specifies the TextField widget ID
position Specifies the character position in the text for which the x and y position is accessed. This is an integer number of characters
from the beginning of the buffer. The first character position is 0.
x Specifies the pointer in which the x position is returned. The returned position is the distance from the left side of the wid-
get to the left border of the character. This value is meaningful only if the function returns True.

the character's baseline. This value is meaningful only if the function returns True.
For a complete definition of TextField and its associated resources, see XmTextField(3).

This function returns True if the character position is displayed in the TextField widget; otherwise, it returns False, and no x or y value
is returned.
