Hi Nathalie,
The text Esteban supplied does the heavy lifting - allows you to select a folder, read the names and change them.

There is a simpler version of the renaming part,
based on the name you use - you don't need to "split" and generate an array of pieces

origString="C00XZ00Y";
print("original ",origString);
remove="XZ";// delete.
replacewith="X_Z";// what you want instead.
newSuffix="_t00Z"; // want to add.
newString=replace(origString, remove, replacewith) + newSuffix; ;// replaces every instance of one string with another.
print("new ",newString);

confusingly when I look at the examples from your dropbox, I am unclear how you want to rename these images, the names don't fit the "C00XZ00Y".

Hi Nathalie,

Herbie's solution is great!  Much easier than what I would've done :-) Just add an extension, like .tif, if your files have one.  I'll add functionality for all files in a folder and add an extension (change the .tif if your files have a different extension):

folder = getDirectory("Choose a folder to rename files"); files = getFileList(folder); for(i = 0; i < files.length; i++){
  nameSplit = split(files[i], "Z");
  newFilename = nameSplit[0] + "_Z" + nameSplit[1] + "_t00Z.tif";
  File.rename(folder + files[i], folder + newFilename); }
