OS 9 renaming scripts won't work in OSX

At my former place of employment I wrote all kinds of scripts for renaming files in a folder. Some where you are requested to select the folder, others were applets. I have tried to reuse that old code in OSX and it just plain does not work.

Could someone suggest a simple script that would allow me to:

  1. select a folder
  2. put a 2-digit number (same number for all) in front of the filenames
  3. put a new extension on the end of the filename

If this is too much to ask, let me know and I will put one of my smaller scripts here and you can have at it to figure out how this old fart can move into the age of OSX somewhat gracefully.

Have you checked ScriptBuilders?
