Usage: pro_rename [options] [file]
pro_rename goes through a renaming session in a directory using
a configuration file.
******* USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION *************
pro_rename ALWAYS uses current directory.
In this directory the file pro_rename.cfg should be present.
Specify the renaming names in this file as follows:
fromname.ext toname [internal options]
The first filename must have an extension and the name should have
6 characters or more. The extension must be .prt, .asm, .drw., .frm,
.mfg or .lay.
e.g:
assembly.asm newassy
part1.prt newpart1
part2.prt newpart2
drawing_part2.drw newpart2
etc...
If a drawing of an assembly or a part exist with the same name
pro_rename will automatically rename the drawing also.
First run a pre run check and carefully read the feedback:
% pro_rename -aldt
If this check has finished succesfully, give the GO option:
% pro_rename -aldtg
The newest fromfile will be copied to the tofile. Internally all
string sequences with FROMNAME will be transformed to TONAME (both
in upercase).
You can also add internal options which will override the external
-a or -l option. Append the words 'pro_noall' or 'pro_nolower' to
the end of a line.
options: -h => help screen
-d => delete specified files (move to dumpster)
-dd => remove specified files
-t => create check trail file
-a => rename internally in all files
-l => rename also the lower case strings
-i => also rename in .idx file.
-f => force renaming short names
-s => run strip_pdm_data on every renamed file.
-g => Go for it; Run the session;
ONLY WITH THIS OPTION THE COPY AND DELETE
ACTIONS WILL BE PERFORMED.
Otherwise pro_rename runs in a pre-
pro_rename check mode.
-b => Batch mode: pro_rename will NOT wait for
a confirmation when the -g option is given.
-n => Do not add spaces if new name is shorter.
If the -a option is specified a transformation to the toname (upper-
case) will be made in all .prt, .asm, .drw, .frm, .lay and .mfg files.
If the -l option is specified the actions will also be done on all
.drw files for the names in lower case.
If the -d option is specified the fromfile's will be deleted if the
copy to the tofile was succesfull.
If the -t option is specified a trailfile will be created which
enables you to check the retrieval of all the created models.
If the -o option is specified only the given model (and drawing) will
be renamed, otherwise a search will also be done for a part resp.
assembly for a given assembly resp. part.
The -l option only works in conjunction with the -a option.
The -d and -t options only with -g option.
file: If you specify this commandline option pro_rename will use
this configuration file instead of pro_rename.cfg.
BUGS: If a question marks appears on a line of the configuration
file this line will be ignored.
