Rename artboards using their numbers

Egor Chistyakov

I need a script or action or rtfm-quote that renames all artboards (may be selected only, but I see no use of it) with default pattern ('Artboard X'), where X is an actual number of artboard.

I'm a bit tired that after rearranging order of arboards their labels don't correspond with numbers.

function renameArtboards(){

     var docRef = app.activeDocument;

     var aB = docRef.artboards;

     for(var a=0;a<aB.length;a++){

          var curAB = aB;

          curAB.name = "Artboard " + [a+1];

     }

}

renameArtboards();
