What compiler/OS are you using?

If you are using GNAT GPL "2005" or "2006" then it comes with
Ada.Directories which will help. For other compilers, try
http://www.martin.dowie.btinternet.co.uk/ and download a version of
Ada.Directories from there. There is a "rename" procedure in this
package.

You could look at using Ada.Strings.Maps for working out the new name
but it's probably overkill. Just loop over the range of the String
object and check/replace as required.
