I want to use rename to process a bundle of files like this:

GSM5901579_203007520013_R01C01_Grn.idat.gz -> 203007520013_R01C01_Grn.idat.gz
GSM5901579_203007520013_R01C01_Red.idat.gz -> 203007520013_R01C01_Red.idat.gz
GSM5901580_203007520013_R03C01_Grn.idat.gz -> 203007520013_R03C01_Grn.idat.gz

I would be grateful if you can give any suggestion!
