Batch renaming of worksheets
 
Help - A MatLab 7.2 program must read 1000 Excel files written in Excel 2000
which allowed characters (,^,/, etc. in sheet names. Excel 2003 will not
allow characters you would not use for a filename. Excel 2003 on my machine
will not allow MatLab 7.2 to read these files and directs MatLab to report an
error. Is there a way to change all 1000 Excel sheet names without doing it
one-by-one? They are mixed in a directory with other files.

Excel 2000 doesn't allow those special characters in sheet names.
