Regexp rename a layer from its unique symbol's name

Hi there, just wanted to contribute if it can help.

I had this Ai structure:

Layer1

----SymbolA

Layer2

----SymbolA

Layer3

----SymbolB

and I wanted to have:

Layer1-SymbolA

----SymbolA

Layer2-SymbolA

----SymbolA

Layer3-SymbolB

----SymbolB

So i tweaked the RenameLayers.jsx script from Sebastien Lavoieto use regex AND to insert the symbol's name at the right place.

// Generated by CoffeeScript 1.7.1
#target "illustrator-18";
var LayerRenamer, layerRenamer;


LayerRenamer = (function () {
  function LayerRenamer() {  if (app.activeDocument.selection.length > 0) {  this.replacements = [new RegExp(prompt("Where would you like to replace via RegExp?", "Eg: source S12 (S\\d\\d)")), prompt("What would you like to replace it with?", "Eg: replacement $1")];  this.renameLayers(app.activeDocument.selection);  } else {  alert("Select the layers you would like to be renamed.");  }  }  LayerRenamer.prototype.renameLayers = function (layers) {  var layer, name, _i, _len, _results, symbolName;  _results = [];  symbolName = "";  for (_i = 0, _len = layers.length; _i < _len; _i++) {  layer = layers[_i];  layer = layer.parent;  if (layer.pageItems.length == 1) {  symbolName = layer.pageItems[0].symbol.name;  }  name = layer.name;  _results.push(layer.name = name.replace(this.replacements[0], (this.replacements[1] + "-" + symbolName)));  }  return _results;  };  return LayerRenamer;
})();


layerRenamer = new LayerRenamer();

Hope this can help someone.

PS: no, this was not a question.

PPS:  Of course the real use case had more than 3 layers, and more than one document, I would have done it faster by hand.
