How to Rename a List of Files Based on Clipboard?

Hi all!
I finally quit. I'm trying to recall where I found this script, and completely failed. That was a script for renaming, picking up a list from the clipboard and applying it to the selected files. Can anyone help, please...?
Thanks in advance!

It was slightly more simple, Stefan. It preserves the file extensions intact and has no need to switch recursion off [meaning one need to OK after each renamed files from the list... =( ] - just select target files, read clipboard (previously filled with the correct info) and get the job done.
I was already dealing with the given link but... I know that it was done in more easier way.
But... thanks for trying!
EDIT: the second code of the link pointed by Stefan did the work partially - it hasn't preserved file extensions (names on clipboard has no extensions, but XYplorer could ignore that), ignored files ending with "<" (therefore not renaming them) but has no recursion check, despite not mentioning that in the code itself... as long as I can interpret it. =)
