Converting ICGC ids to TCGA format

Hello,

I'm working with vcf files of WGS of cancer cells, their names are in TCGA format. I recently started working with RNA expression files, and their names are in ICGC format. How can I transform from this 2 formats?

Thanks in advance

OK. I'm adding here a row from an excel I have for the conversions (i'm missing there many TCGA ids, thats why I need the help...):

donor_unique_id                                donor_wgs_exclusion_white_gray  submitter_donor_id                    icgc_donor_id  dcc_project_code  aliquot_id                            submitter_specimen_id                 icgc_specimen_id  submitter_sample_id                   icgc_sample_id  dcc_specimen_type              library_strategy  short_id       TCGA_filename

I'm looking at columns 4/10 for the ICGC id, and the last column for the TCGA id.

Thanks in advance
