Need help for a Shell script to rename multiple files

Hi!

I need help to create a shell script to search inside a file and then copy a portion of the search result as the new file name.

Basically I was hacked over the weekend and the genius wipe out my drive from my server. I was able to recover alot of files, but biggest problem Is now the files have no name and make it impossible to sort.

I have found the filename inside the files themself and need to search for it and then rename the file with the results.
Approx 12 000 files to be done.

Here is a sample of the source of the files I'm talking about:
Code:
%!PS-Adobe-3.1 EPSF-3.0
%ADO_DSC_Encoding: MacOS Roman
%%Title: carte_finale_GestionPhocusout.eps
%%Creator: Adobe Illustrator(R) 14.0
%%For: Porky
%%CreationDate: 09-11-09
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 360 489
%%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 359.9981 488.5669
%%CropBox: 0 0 359.9981 488.5669
%%LanguageLevel: 3

This is the filename inside the file itself right after the "%%Title: "
Code:
%%Title: carte_finale_GestionPhocusout.eps

Now with this info, I want to rename the file itself to exactly this:
Code:
carte_finale_GestionPhocusout.eps

Can it be done?

Many thanks for taking the time to read and help me with this!

PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	     PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath(3pm)

NAME
PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath -Change the package name based on the files path SYNOPSIS
my $munged = PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath->new->rename( code => "package TestPackage; use strict; BEGIN { $^W = 1; } 1; ", filename => './lib/Test/Code/Path.pm', ); my $new_code_as_string = $munged->code; my $package_ppi_element = $munged->element; DESCRIPTION
This module uses PPI to change the package name of code. METHODS
new() Constructor. Generally shouldn't be called with any arguments. rename( ppi => PPI::Document $ppi, filename => Str ) =item rename( code => Str $code, filename => Str ) Accepts either a "PPI::Document" to process or a string containing the code (which will be converted into a "PPI::Document") to process. Replaces the package name with that supplied in the "filename" parameter and returns a "PPIx::EditorTools::ReturnObject" with the new code available via the "ppi" or "code" accessors, as a "PPI::Document" or "string", respectively. An attempt will be made to derive the package name from the filename passed as a parameter. The filename's path will converted to an absolute path and it will be searched for a "lib" directory which will be assumed the start of the package name. If no "lib" directory can be found in the absolute path, the relative path will be used. Croaks with a "package name not found" exception if unable to find the package name. SEE ALSO
This class inherits from "PPIx::EditorTools". Also see App::EditorTools, Padre, and PPI. perl v5.14.2 2012-03-11 PPIx::EditorTools::RenamePackageFromPath(3pm)
