Advanced Block Renaming

This mod is a spin-off of Meridius_IX's Easy Block Renaming mod, that similarly adds controls to nearly all block types that allow you to rename multiple blocks at once. Instead of prefixing/suffixing/replacing though, this mod works using Regular Expressions (Regex), which are an incredibly versatile tool for manipulating text.

Once subscribed, add this mod to your save's mod list. After this is done, most blocks will now have a set of options on at the bottom of their terminal entry.

Enter a Regular Expression (or text) into the "Find" box, and then enter what you would like that selection to be replaced with in the "Replace With" box. Then, simply click replace, and the replacement will be applied to the names of all the blocks you have selected.

This is functionally identical to the Find/Replace tools you can find in word processors such as Notepad++.

If you want to do a simple swap-out, you can enter the word or string of characters you want to replace into the "Find" box, and the replacement in the "Replace With" Box. For example, if you have a block named "Large Hydrogen Thruster", you can Find "Hydrogen" and Replace "Fuel" and the block will be now named "Large Fuel Thruster".
This is applied to every block selected, so if you select all blocks in the terminal and apply the above replacement, all Hydrogen Tanks will now be called Fuel Tanks etc. and all selected blocks without "Hydrogen" in the name will be unaffected.

Regular expressions provide a toolset for doing much more advanced replacements than the above example. They're too complicated to explain in this description, but if you don't already know how they work, then you can check out any of these resources:

• This basic Regex tutorial[ryanstutorials.net] on ryanstutorials.
  
• This comprehensive introduction to Regex for beginners[blog.usejournal.com] on usejournal.
  
• The Microsoft Documentation on Regular Expressions[docs.microsoft.com]. This one is important because C# can sometimes be quirky when it comes to Regex.

Since this mod uses the same mechanism as Meridius's to rename blocks, some blocks were not able to receive these controls. In particular: the Contracts Block and Survival Kit. Remember to deselect these blocks when trying to rename large amounts at once.
