renaming script

[Adam H. Stewart]

I am looking for a remaning script - I have looked around the scriptspot - I like the redesign but it is really confusing, and I can't seem to find anything. Basically I have a scene with 700 objects that I need to renmane into logical groups - any ideas -

Thanks as always for your help.

There's a renaming script in the blur script pack.

3dsmax-tools-rename does not do the trick for you?

Ditto, Sushi.

Doh !

Now I feel like a complete tool

You can imagine how messy my scenes are - I have never really had to do batch renaming before.

Both tools do a great job, but blur gives you the ability to rename materials in libraries or the editor which is awesome.

Thanks a million for your help

Looks like you have solved your problem already, but here is a very short script for renaming every selected object to something new:

for x in selection do x.name = uniqueName "A_new_name"
