Devrim,
here's another solution using the split function. You can specify padding
length for both the first and the second parts in your filename motives.

   requires ('1.45d'); // for IJ.pad function

print (changeFileNames2('1_2_xxx_yyy',3,3));


function changeFileNames2(s,length1,length2) {

  parts = split(s,'_');

  return
''+IJ.pad(parseInt(parts[0]),length1)+'_'+IJ.pad(parseInt(parts[1]),length2);

}

///


Sincerely,


Jerome
