Ant Renamer 2 increment file names

Hi!
I’m trying to use a regular expression in Ant Renamer 2 to increment a number that appears in the filename of a bunch of files by a specified number.

EG:
I have:
IMG_1000.jpg
IMG_1001.jpg
IMG_1003.jpg

And I want them named: (add 20)
IMG_1020.jpg
IMG_1021.jpg
IMG_1023.jpg

How can I do that? I'm open to using another program if there is a better one out there. (I prefer free, and portable if available.)

Thanks!

I have used the FREE Bulk Rename Utility for a while now. What you want to do in your example shouldn't even require a regular expression to accomplish even though this utility does have that feature available.

Have a look and see what you think. It can even be available for use in any Windows Explorer folder, including the desktop, from the right click context menu.

I actually tried using that program, but couldn't figure out where to start. The UI is rather confusing.

Can you tell me how to do what I need with it?

I actually need more complicated than just replacing 100 with 102. Those numbers were examples - I have many many pictures and videos, and need to add 13 to all the file names.
I think I probably would need a regular expression.

I'm going to repost with a better title.
