How to modify a macro to batch rename macro groups instead of macros

[ronald]

in July 2023, @cfriend added a very useful macro (below) to the library to batch search replace rename macros. I use if often

I am currently reorganizing and renaming my macro groups, renaming them about 20 macro groups at a time (I have many).

Is there a way to modify the macro to allow me to rename search replace macro groups instead of macros ?

thanks in advance for your time and help

Something like this?

It's working for me -- but I won't pretend to have tested against every conceivable macro group name, so use with caution until you are happy with it.

I will do multiple backups and test your macro. thanks very much !!
