Hello, we are looking for automating a process of renaming hundreds of
variables. Each variable name consists of a text root and a two digit suffix
(eg., depr01, bother07, etc.). We want to change the two digit suffix to,
let's say, one digit "2" or "2r". Could some of you, syntax/programming
wizzards, send me a syntax to do it? It would help so much. Thanks a lot.
