Changing Drawing number in multiple sheets

[pillaisg]

I am having some 500 sheets in which I have to change the Drawing Numbers. The format of the drawing Number is as follows SGP-5-1000-001-R2-A1-0. In which SGP is the area code,5 is the discipline code, 1000 is the drawing number,R2 is the project code A1 is the sheet size and 0 is the revision.
I need to change the area code (SGP) and Drawing NUmber (1000) in all the 500 sheets. This drawing number is in an attribute format.
Thanks in advance

(setq all_file_name (cddr (vl-directory-files file_folder)))
(setq len (length all_file_name))
(setq cnt 0)
(setq code (getstring "\nEnter new area code: "))
(if (= code "")(setq code "SGP"))
(setq x (strcat "100*"))
(setq num (getint "\nEnter start number<1>: "))
(if (= num nil)(setq num 1))
(repeat
len
(setq y (nth cnt all_file_name))
(if
(wcmatch y x)
(progn
(setq f1 (substr y 1 5))
(setq f3 (substr y 9 3))
(setq f4 (substr y 16 16))
(setq str (strcat f1 code f3 (itoa num) f4))
(setq nfile (strcat file_folder "/" str))
(setq ofile (strcat file_folder "/" y))
(vl-file-rename ofile nfile)
) ; progn
) ; if
(setq cnt (1+ cnt))
) ; repeat

We using field and diesel expression at the drawing number text which refer
to the filename of drawing.

I know some free batch filename rename software can rename portion of
filename.

After you rename the filename, the drawing number will follow your filename
of drawing.
