Stuck on a Rename + Find and Replace Script

[Anonymous]

Any ideas on what I'm missing? When I click the button that executes the replace function, nothing happens, no errors, no results...

#Import Necessary Modules
import maya.cmds as mc

# mc.ls( selection = True, long = True, flatten = True )
 
# Find the First Index
def firstIndexFind( item = "", inList = [] ):
 for i in range( len(inList) ):
 if inList == item:
 return i
 else:
 pass

# Remembers Original Selection Order
def getListMap( unchanged = [], changed = [] ):
 returnList = []
 searchList = unchanged
 for i in range( len( changed ) ):
 fI = firstIndexFind( changed, searchList )
 returnList.append( fI )
 searchList = ""
 return returnList

# Function to Rename Selected Objects
def rName(*args):
 unsorted = mc.ls( selection = True, long = True, flatten = True )
 newN = mc.textField( 'NEWNAME', query = True, text = True )
 sortedL = sorted( unsorted )
 map = getListMap( unsorted, sortedL )
 # Iterated Through List Backwards
 for iM in range( len(map) -1, -1, -1 ):
 eI = map
 mc.rename( unsorted, newN )
 return unsorted

# Function to replace chosen string in the names of selected objects
def rpName(*args):
 oldN = mc.textField( 'ONAME', query = True, text = True )
 newN = mc.textField( 'RNAME', query = True, text = True )
 selObjs = mc.ls( selection = True, long = True, flatten = True )
 oList = []
 for i in range(len(selObjs)):
 cObj = selObjs
 cObj = cObj.replace( oldN, newN )
 oList.append(cObj)
 selObjs = oList
 
# UI Call Function
def openUI():
 if mc.window( 'Rename Tools', exists = True ):
 mc.deleteUI( 'Rename Tools', window = True )
 window = mc.window( 'Rename Tools' )
 mc.columnLayout( 'primeColumn', adjustableColumn = False, height=180, width=360 )
 mc.frameLayout( 'rpName', label = 'Replace Name', parent = 'primeColumn', collapsable = False )
 mc.rowLayout( numberOfColumns = 4 )
 mc.text( label = 'Original Name' )
 mc.textField( 'ONAME' )
 mc.text( label = 'New Name' )

 mc.textField( 'NEWNAME' )
 mc.button( label = 'Rename', command = rName )
 mc.setParent( '..' )
 mc.setParent( '..' )
 mc.showWindow( window )

You're replacing a string alright, but you're not actually renaming the object.

def rpName(*args):
    oldN = mc.textField( 'ONAME', query = True, text = True )
    newN = mc.textField( 'RNAME', query = True, text = True )
    selObjs = mc.ls( selection = True, long = True, flatten = True )
    oList = []
    for i in range(len(selObjs)):
        cObj = selObjs
        oldName = cObj
        newName = cObj.replace( oldN, newN )
        mc.rename (oldName, newName)
        oList.append(cObj)
        selObjs = oList
