below script working good for rename selected layers. but when there is clipping mask layers then clipping mask layers also renamed automatically. 

so i want to rename  selected layers except clipping mask

 

 

 

var newName =("layer name", "Auto_bmd");

var layers = getSelectedLayers();
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i ++){
	layers[i].name = newName;
}


//get the list of multiple selected layers
photoshop%CA%A3%BF%F4%A5%BB%A5%EC%A5%AF%A5%C8

function getSelectedLayers(){ 
	var idGrp = stringIDToTypeID( "groupLayersEvent" );
	var descGrp = new ActionDescriptor();
	var refGrp = new ActionReference();
	refGrp.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ),charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ),charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ));
	descGrp.putReference(charIDToTypeID( "null" ), refGrp );
	executeAction( idGrp, descGrp, DialogModes.ALL );
	var resultLayers=new Array();
	for (var ix=0;ix<app.activeDocument.activeLayer.layers.length;ix++){resultLayers.push(app.activeDocument.activeLayer.layers[ix])}
	var id8 = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var id9 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref2 = new ActionReference();
    var id10 = charIDToTypeID( "HstS" );
    var id11 = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
    var id12 = charIDToTypeID( "Prvs" );  
    ref2.putEnumerated( id10, id11, id12 );
	desc5.putReference( id9, ref2 );
	executeAction( id8, desc5, DialogModes.NO );
	return resultLayers;
}

I can suggest another option.
var nm = "NewName";

var selected = get_selected_layers_id();

for (var i = 0; i < selected.length; i++)
    {
    select_layer(selected[i]);
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = nm;
    }

select_layers(selected);

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function select_layer(id)
    {   
    try {
        var r = new ActionReference();
        r.putIdentifier(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), id);

        var d = new ActionDescriptor();

The getSelectedLayers() function does not work correctly in this case, when all clipped layers are selected.
Plus it will mess things up if not all clipped layers are selected.
Need another function.
