Batch rename of slide objects?

Question

My office created a product based naming convention for timeline objects within Cp9.

NamingConvention

The "green" number is associated to "content" as opposed to "slide number" because slides can change position. All is well and good naming-wise until a slide is duplicated and split into smaller chunks of content after initial naming. Now, the two slides have identical naming but the second (dupe) has underscores and numbers appended. Changing the names of objects is okay for onesies and twosies but not on a slide that has a whole bunch of objects. Whoa! The result is a lot of time used in tedious renaming of objects on the dupe.

Example:

original slide object name: "tdt09_i_frame" (content group "09")

dupe slide object name: "tdt09_i_frame_424" (don't need the "_424" it means nothing)

proposed NEW name: "tdt10_i_frame" (representing NEW content group "10")

So, how can I make a "batch" object name change (rename) on the duplicate slide in order to change the green content number from "09" to "10"?

Sorry, but that's not possible.When we used to do something like that, we would initial number by 5's so you could insert pages and not have to rename.tdt00tdt05tdt10tdt15Seems to be a very long way of naming things. The only time I ever use a naming convention is for objects that are going to be referenced in JavaScript or an Advanced action (which I rarely use).
