RE: Renaming of instances and SubInstances?

[Ian B]

Hi Kevin

Yes on the hols although it had its exciting bits with a collapsed trailer
suspension unit and some other fun bits. All's well now though and back to
work for some rest.

Anyway, if it helps I use targeting for all my renaming. I can rename
multiple SubInstances at once to the same name but only one back to another
name i.e. if my SubInstances were all named relay something then rename
'relay*' to 'output' at once no limits. This gives me say 8 SubInstances
all
with the name output. If I now say rename 'output' to 'watering' the
program
will only rename the first SubInstance and not all of them otherwise I
would
get into a loop I could not recover from.

Hopefully I will get this thought through a little better and with luck
coded this week.

Ian
