Hi,
For example, I have 24 files corresponding to JAN to DEC 2001 and JAN to DEC 2002.
the files are avg_1.nc avg_2, ....... avg_24.nc.
I want to rename it as
avg_jan_2001, avg_feb_2001,...........,avg_dec_2002.nc

use a switch to find the new file name and use movefile to rename it!

What have you tried so far and which problems do you have? You explain the problem, but what kind of help do you expect? Do you want us to solve your problem completely?
If you have 24 files only, renaming them manually will be faster than writing a program. But if you really want to create code for this task, use two loops:
counter = 0;
for year = 2001:2002
for month = 1:12
counter = counter + 1;
oldname = ...
newname = ...
movefile ...
end
end
A cell string of month names will help.
