Not sure I fully understand.
You want to rename several ".wav" files in a directory - not more than 30, so definitely NOT 3 digits - to new names without the ".wav" extension based on the contents of a text file indexed by the leading number in the ".wav" file name?
Any attempts / ideas / thoughts from your side? Any preferred tools?
