Tthe dialog version of the rename command allows you to use wildcard
characters to rename objects, and the # character is a wildcard
character which stand for 'any numeral'. Use the command line version
instead:
-rename
block
WIRE#_L
Something
Or tell the dialog not to use # as a wildcard but as a character. This
is done using the backquote character.
