Here is a batch script.
Script is in biterscripting. Save the script in file C:/Scripts/Rename12.txt, run with this command in biterscripting.
It will rename all files in folder C:/test.
Please test first on a test folder.
# Script Rename12.txt
var string folder
var string list, file, content, field12
if ($folder=="")
exit 1 "Error 1: folder not specified."
endif
cd $folder
# Collect a list of files
lf -n "*" > $list
# Go thru files one by one
while ($list <> "")
do
# Get the next file
lex "1" $list > $file
# Get the file's contents into a string variable.
cat $file > $content
# Get the value after 11th asterisk and before the next asterisk.
stex "^*^11[" $content > $field12 ; stex "[^*^" $field12 > null
# Rename file to the 12 field.
system rename ("\""+$file+"\"") ("\"file_"+$field12+"\"")
done
