Rename Group Addresses in bulk
Hi
I like the Find and Replace function in ETS.
But sometimes I also need to add a prefix or a suffix to a lot of group addresses.
Would it be possible to add a function to do this?
For example:
Control value
Actual value
Detected stroke
Force calibration
Maximum valve stroke
Minimum stroke position
Relay
Add prefix "Kitchen - "
Kitchen - Control value
Kitchen - Actual value
Kitchen - Detected stroke
Kitchen - Force calibration
Kitchen - Maximum valve stroke
Kitchen - Minimum stroke position
Kitchen - Relay
Kind regards

Find and replace can do this but you need a way to select only the addresses of interest, and also have something to be replaced. Maybe copy a middle group and add an underscore to the start of your template GA names?

Also, Extended Copy ETS App can do this very easily but you do need to buy the App...
Select GAs and Copy
Paste Extended
Setup the Paste - with Prefix
Done!

A related (but not the same) ETS App is the Move/Shift Addresses by IT-GmbH which looks quite interesting:

Hi Stephen
Thanks for your answer.
I already use these workflows.Manually adding an underscore to be replaced still is time consuming.
For 10 group addresses it's nothing, but I'm talking about hundreds.I'm maybe the biggest fan of the Extended Copy app, but it created new group addresses.
I'm talking about existing, linked addresses.Also Move/Shift Addresses is very nice, but indeed not serving this purpose.
Frequently, I export group addresses to add a prefix or suffix in Excel.
If this would be possible with ETS, I'm sure it will be used a lot and users will be able to work more efficiently.Kind regards
