Topic: Duplayout LISP

[Bloodhurt]

Hello,

i've been useing Duplayout LISP made by Gile for a while (I found it on the other forum, but redirected here to this topic: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=30262.0, but I couldn't find any more specific place), however i'm missing 2 things in it, and I hope you can guys help me out:

When using duplayout, the name of the new layouts are set to the last character with string 1. (i.e. layout name: 4-25, copy x3, new layout names: 4-26, 4-27, 4-28), I already found in the script where change the string from 1 to X (i.e. layout name 4-25, copy x3, string - 12, new layout names: 4-37, 4-49, 4-61). It would be nice if it would ask for the string value with base 1 (just like it does for layout to duplicate, and the number of copies).

The second problem is to make change/name after the 1st character (i.e. layout name 4-25, copy x3, new layout names: 5-25, 6-25, 7-25). It could also ask for the character to name after (with base last). It's not often to have more than 3 characters to change, so it could ask for First, Last, Middle or something like that. If it's to hard it can only ask for First, and Last

Thanks for the help.


ps. not sure if I can post the DuplayoutLISP here, so if needed just post here and I will past it here
