Search and replace node names through Python

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if it's possible to do a "search and replace" function in python, to rename all the nodes in my scene.

My files comes from maya, and maya don't like nodes wich begins with a number...

Basically, I have a lot of nodes named "a555_444444" and i want a lot of nodes named "555-444444"...

Can anyone help me with this function ?

Ok...with the search function in scenegraph and a little script it's fine.

node = getSelectedNodes()
for i in node:
    name = i.getName()
    name = name.replace("a555_", "555-")
    i.setName(name)

Sorry for the inconvenience...not really awake this morning.
