Renaming all files

Hi,

Very silly question. I need to rename all my files located in one particular folder. The names are Results1.dis, Results2.dis, Results3.dis, etc. I need to change the names to Results001.dis, Results002.dis, Results003 so on and so forth. Now, Files with double digits such as Results17.dis should be renamed Results017.dis. Files with triple digits should be kept the same (Results159.dis).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

XkbSAActionSetCtrls(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					    XkbSAActionSetCtrls(3)

NAME
XkbSAActionSetCtrls - Sets the ctrls0 through I. ctrls3 fields of act from ctrls SYNOPSIS
void XkbSAActionSetCtrls macro ( act, ctrls ) XkbCtrlsAction act; unsigned int ctrls; ARGUMENTS
- act action in which to set ctrls0-ctrls3 - ctrls value to set in ctrls0-ctrls3 DESCRIPTION
Actions associated with the XkbCtrlsAction structure change the state of the boolean controls. The type field can have any one of the values shown in Table 1. Table 1 Controls Action Types -------------------------------------------------------------- Type Effect -------------------------------------------------------------- XkbSA_SetControls A key press enables any boolean controls specified in the ctrls fields that were not already enabled at the time of the key press. A key release disables any controls enabled by the key press. This action can cause XkbControlsNotify events. XkbSA_LockControls If the XkbSA_LockNoLock bit is not set in the flags field, a key press enables any controls specified in the ctrls fields that were not already enabled at the time of the key press. If the XkbSA_LockNoUnlock bit is not set in the flags field, a key release dis- ables any controls specified in the ctrls fields that were not already dis- abled at the time of the key press. This action can cause XkbControlsNotify events. The flags field is composed of the bitwise inclusive OR of the masks shown in Table 2. Table 2 Control Action Flags -------------------------------------------------------------- Flag Meaning -------------------------------------------------------------- XkbSA_LockNoLock If set, and the action type is XkbSA_LockControls, the server only dis- ables controls. XkbSA_LockNoUnlock If set, and the action type is XkbSA_LockControls, the server only enables controls. The XkbSA_SetControls action implements a key that enables a boolean control when pressed and disables it when released. The XkbSA_LockCon- trols action is used to implement a key that toggles the state of a boolean control each time it is pressed and released. The XkbSA_Loc- kNoLock and XkbSA_LockNoUnlock flags allow modifying the toggling behavior to only unlock or only lock the boolean control. The ctrls0, ctrls1, ctrls2, and ctrls3 fields represent the boolean controls in the enabled_ctrls field of the controls structure. Xkb macros, to convert between the two formats. XkbSAActionSetCtrls sets the ctrls0 through ctrls3 fields of act from ctrls. STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbCtrlsAction { unsigned char type; /* XkbSA_SetControls, XkbSA_LockControls */ unsigned char flags; /* with type, controls enabling and disabling of controls */ unsigned char ctrls3; /* ctrls0 through ctrls3 represent the boolean controls */ unsigned char ctrls2; /* ctrls0 through ctrls3 represent the boolean controls */ unsigned char ctrls1; /* ctrls0 through ctrls3 represent the boolean controls */ unsigned char ctrls0; /* ctrls0 through ctrls3 represent the boolean controls */ } XkbCtrlsAction; X Version 11 libX11 1.2.1 XkbSAActionSetCtrls(3)
