I know in your title you say "in dos" but I get the impression you are just looking for a way to do this and are wondering if that is the best way. The absolute best tool I have found for this is Bulk Rename Utility. It isn't a command line tool, but they do have a command line version if you really want to use it that way. I've used the GUI version a lot, and it is very powerful, very fast and extremely easy to use. Oh, and it is FREE for personal use.
