Lisp to move old objects to their new layer

[Anonymous]

We have adopted a new standard for layer names that includes an "S-" prefix.

But when someone inserts old details, it re-introduces the old layer names
without the prefix.

Does someone have a lisp that remedies this? Something that would find the
objects on the "Hatch" layer, and then move it to the "S-Hatch" layer? (as
well as several other layers)

I can make one easy enough, but I don't want to waste time if someone
already has something like this.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using 2004, check out the layer translator.

Yes, I have something that you could adopt.
Basically, it allows a selection set, breaks down the entity layer, changes
any aspect of the layer name, or in your case you can just read the layer
name and construct the new layer name by adding something to it.
It then changes the entity to the new layer name. It will work with adding
the same thing , S in your case to any entity layer name in your selection
set.
