Rename
Rename groups of objects at once.
Options:
- Rename Selected Rollout:
Allows you to rename and/or simply renumber the selected objects.
- Prefix:
This text will be pre-pended to each object's name.
- Name:
Each object's name will be renamed to this text.
- Postfix:
This text will be appended to each object's name.
- Renumber objects, starting at:
Turning this on will cause the object renumbered, and the starting number will be the number specified by the spinner.
If this is on, and the above text fields are empty, the selected objects will simply be renumbered.
- Search And Replace Rollout:
Allows you to search for text in the selected object's names and replace it with different text.
- Search For:
The text to look for in the object names.
- Replace With:
The text to replace the above text with when found.
- Case Sensitiive:
This will cause the text search to be case sensitive (ie. "FOO" is not the same as "foo").
- PointCache Files:
Turning this on will cause the paths of any PointCache2 modifiers applied to any selected objects to be searched and replaced instead of object names.

History:
1997.00.12 - Created
1998.09.16 - v1.1 Took Matt's script and integrated it with BFDtools, fixed up renaming
code a bit - JB
1998.09.17 - Total re-write. options for postfixes and whether you want to
renumber or not... - JB
1998.09.29 - Fixed a renaming bug... seems MAXScript was converting some letters to
integers when it shouldn't have been (used to do this to find the numbers
at the end of an object name).
1998.09.30 - Added search and replace option, most of the new code is in "string.ms"
1999.01.29 - Finally added support for groups. Works like this:
If your selection includes a _closed_ group, only the group head is renamed
If your selection includes part of an _open_ group, anything that's selected
(including the group head) is renamed. - JB
1999.06.29 - Added progressbar to both rename and S&R (with proper cancel and restore)
commented out duplicate name check (was a big speed hit on large renames) - JB
1999.08.31 - Commented out the progressBar... not too necessary now that name checking is out - JB
1999.11.09 - Converted to 3.1.
2001.04.13 - Added quick pointcache option.
