I'm stuck with batch file rename

I have 5000 files in the folder. I have a text file with 5000 names, one on each line. How can i mass rename these files so that each file gets a name from each line?

This has been a pain in the back for me. None of the software i tried can do it and there are thousands of renaming applications out there! Any suggestions? Thank you!

 

learn how to program and make a program yourself that does this..

 

files on linux server or on windows desktop pc?
if desktop, simple VB code

Private Function RenameFolderFromFile(ByVal fldname As String, ByVal filname As String) As Boolean

        Dim s As String = ""

        Try
            Dim freader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filname)
            For Each fld As System.IO.FileInfo In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo(fldname).GetFiles
                If freader.EndOfStream Then
                    MsgBox("Not enough filenames in renamefile")
                    Exit For
                Else
                    s = freader.ReadLine
                End If
                My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(fld.FullName, s)
            Next
            freader.Close()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return False
        End Try
        Return True

    End Function

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        RenameFolderFromFile("c:\fold", "c:\rename.txt")
    End Sub

Code (markup):

if linux server do the same with php/perl/bash
