Title: rename anything with regex
Post by: jtm2020hyo on December 02, 2019, 10:28:28 AM

I found a vlx (rrename) that rename block, layer, etc. with regex, but I tried to rename with "find (.+)(a|b|c) replace $2$1" but does not works.

so maybe I'm doing something bad (teach me please to use it).

but I think that maybe can be possible rename anything with any excel or text file? (equivalent to TABLE command linking table to excel file)

It works for me. Your find/replace codes do rename e.g. "LayerA" to ALayer" and "LayB" to "BLay". Do you expect this type of renames?
