TCOUNT with prefix

Is there a simple tool to do auto-count with prefix, for example AA-1, AA-2, AA-3"

hmm

Select all your Text, change the content to your prefix (use properties palette for Text objects, or use FIND command)

and run Tcount. Use the offered option SUFFIX

done

I do use TCOUNT, first it prompts me to select objects, the second step is to select order (x or y), then (start, increment) <1,1> and then I do have an option to do Overwrite, prefix, suffix, find and replace. but when I type for example AA- (as prefix) and click enter the commend duplicates the numbering without the two letters what I want

Start TCOUNT, press [F1], learn more about Tcount..

The PREFIX/SUFFIX option is for WHERE TO ADD THE NUMBERS! Suffix means, Tcount add the number as suffic to the existing text!

Placement of text- Overwrite/Prefix/Suffix/Find&replace../ <current>: Enter an option or press Enter

Overwrite	Replaces selected text strings with numbers
Prefix	Adds the number as a prefix to text
Suffix	Adds the number as a suffix to text
Find&replace	Replaces a user specified text string with a number

Because of this, i wrote:

2. and run Tcount.

3. Use the offered option SUFFIX

@Maria_Nowicka_UXMJJH7ABLY6 the old TCOUNT adds numbers, not letters?

If FIND command's wildcards does not work for your needs
