Apple script to batch rename files by deleting tags on front and back of the file name

Question

Hi, I'm trying to rename a couple thousand files from their current format:  "01074_Something Of A Dreamer_Mary-Chapin Carpenter.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "01075_Where Did We Go Right_Lacy J. Dalton.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "01076_Everybody's Reaching Out_Crystal Gayle.lrc"
                                                                                                     To simply:  "Something Of A Dreamer.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "Where Did We Go Right.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "Everybody's Reaching Out.lrc"
I just want to delete the number tag on the front and the artist name at the end for all of the files.  I imagine a Script to do this wouldn't be too hard to write, something along the lines of read file name after the first '_' character it reads until it reads a second '_' character and rename the file to the string it reads between those two underscores with .lrc at the end.
Unfortunately I know nothing about Apple Script other than it seems like the thing I would need to automate this process based on my limited google searches.  If someone could help me out with some advice on how to go about making this script or obviously if you simply have and/or can quickly write a script to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Here:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_file in (get files of window 1)
set the_name to name of this_file
set temp_name to items ((offset of "_" in the_name) + 1) thru -1 of the_name as string
set temp_name to (items 1 thru ((offset of "_" in temp_name) - 1) of temp_name as string) & items -4 thru -1 of the_name as string
set name of this_file to temp_name
end repeat
end tell
