Hi !
I am trying to rename every object of my model. Yet I do not want to go through each object to change their name as I just want to appen "L1" to them. So I thought about doing it via Script but I don't know how to go through each object individually.
I imagined going through the model treenode but all objects are not on the same level.
Maybe there is a simple way to do it ?
Hello @Sebastian,
One way you could do this is to select all of the objects that are the same and do them at once. For instance I could select all of the processors and check that I have done so in the selected Objects tab in the Properties window.
Then I can select one of the processors and right next to the name select the icon with an "ab" on it.
If you want the 1 in the L1 to increment with each object have it set like so.
If you want L1 on every processor the set it up as follows.
Good Luck
...and if it's a blanket rename excluding the objects in "Tools" you can use this:
treenode rootnode=model().first;
while(objectexists(next(rootnode))) {
rootnode=next(rootnode);
rootnode.name="L1_"+rootnode.name;
forobjecttreeunder(rootnode){
a.name="L1_"+a.name;
}
}
Unfortunately when I do it, it renames all the object with the same name, in your case Processor-L1.
Is it the normal behavior ?
In my case I would like, from 2 objects called "Processor1" and "DecisionPoint1" to become "L1_Processor1" and "L1_DecisionPoint1". Would that be achievable with the approach you described ? Or if not, with another approach ?
Another option is to add the string "L1_" to the name of the object which works like this:
Object obj = Model.find("Processor1");
string orig_name = obj.name;
obj.name = "L1_" + orig_name;
//this will return L1_Processor1
To change multiple objects at once, just add them to a group and run a for loop that would look like this:
Group group = Group("Group1");
for (int i = 1; i <= group.length; i++){
string orig_name = group[i].name;
group[i].name = "L1_" + orig_name;
}
Keep in mind every time you run a loop like this it will add an extra "L1_" to the beginning, so you'd only want to do it once.
I did not think about creating a group for the for loop.
Thank you very much ! :)
