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?
Group Regex Rename.kmmacros (3.2 KB)
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 !!
I want to delete the first 3 characters of each selected macro with your excellent macro.
The following does not work. Would you have any idea why ? My regex must be wrong.
thank you very much
^.{3}
replace with nothing
neither does this
(?m)^\d{3}\)
The first one should work, as long as you leave the "Replace" field blank so you are replacing the first three characters with an empty string:
that's exactly what I did. I don't understand. thank you
is there any reason why it would not work with 12)abc and work fine with 12) abc ?
thank you very much
Both work fine here (remembering that the first probably needs ^.{3} for the search term, the second ^.{4}.
Otherwise, it's difficult to say until you explain what you mean by "would not work".
