Find and replace German umlauts in names

[virtual.werner.autodesk]

I need to replace German umlauts "ö", "ä", and "ü" with "oe", "ae" and "ue" in a quite large file with A LOT of objects.

Is there an easy way to do this?

The script at the link below has a substitute/replace characters function and should do what you are asking:

You just select all of the objects you want to rename and enter in the character you want to replace and the new characters and hit replace.
