user question (6.x where there is no regex)

I am trying to move an rename some files -

Have 3 files in one directory
W_FERRIC_1_20070618_1.TXT
W_PAC_1_20070618_1.TXT
S_FERRIC_1_20070618_1.TXT

I want to rename the W to 7 and the .TXT to .txt and to leave the S_ file wheer it is - thats it - but cannot do it

I have tried W^.TXT rename to 7^.txt - but this doesnt change the .TXT bit
I have tried W*.TXT to 7*.txt but this renames all three files
Have also tried many other combinations

In 6.x, you would have to do two rename tasks in sequence:
1) rename W_ to 7_
2) rename .TXT to .txt
