Find and Replace Text in Object Name in the Layers Panel
Add the ability to perform a find and replace in the names of object. For example: If I have a seating chart with 10 rows, I want to be able to name each seat in the row such as "Row A - Seat 1", "Row A - Seat 2", etc...
After I create one row then copy and paste it to create Row B, I need the ability to highlight that grouping and replace all the "A"s with "B"s and so forth with each row.
See attachment as an example

Greg, please try this free script from Sergey Osokin to be able to do that:

It allows to rename objects, layers, artboards, with search and replace options.Please comment back if it works for you.
