rename numbered files to numbered files with leading zeroes

Hi,

I have some hundreds/thousands of files named logX.dat, where X can be any integer, and they are sequential, X ranges between 1 and any number:

log1.dat log2.dat log3.dat log6.dat log10.dat ... log6000.dat

I would like to rename them to

scatter_params_0001.dat scatter_params_0002.dat scatter_params_0003.dat scatter_params_0006.dat scatter_params_0010.dat scatter_params_6000.dat

Note that in the scatter files I need them with leading zeroes, which are absent in the original log files.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Pau
