Whip's Group Based Block Renaming Code

[img=https://i.imgur.com/Vw0h1Xy.png] Howdy!

This program makes renaming large groups of blocks easy! You can use this script to rename, prefix, or suffix block names. Additionally, there are built in functions to prefix or suffix the grid name to your blocks (Incredibly helpful for multi-grid ships!).

Also, unlike some similar scripts, this script will allow you to rename blocks to their default names with little hassle!

  • Can replace certain phrases with new phrases
  • Can prefix, suffix, and rename blocks
  • Can also rename blocks to their default names
  • Can prefix or suffix blocks based on grid name!
  • Renamed blocks can be numbered automatically
  • Ships with many blocks will have preceeding zeroes attached to the block number to make them show in order in terminal
  • Can configure numbering and behavior in the custom data.

[*] Run the program once. This will rename/prefix/suffix all blocks in recognized rename groups. [*] You can now delete these groups if you desire [*] Enjoy! [/olist]

[img=https://i.imgur.com/twuIaF6.png] This is one of my simpler codes, but also one if my most used ones. I figured this may be helpful for others as I oft get tired of manually renaming large groups of blocks.
