The script below will do what you need using Regular Expressions: (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/js56jsgrpregexpsyntax.asp)
// Strips numbers off end of name
// Swaps leftStr and rightStr from the beginning of input object names
function NameSymmetry(inColl, leftStr, rightStr)
{
// verify input args and set defaults
if(!inColl) inColl = Selection;
if(!leftStr) leftStr = 'Left';
if(!rightStr) rightStr = 'Right';
for(var e = new Enumerator(inColl); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()){
var nm = e.item().name;
// Strip off end numbers
nm = nm.replace(/[\d]*$/,'');
var leftRE = new RegExp('^' + leftStr);
var rightRE = new RegExp('^' + rightStr);
// Test for leftStr
if(nm.match(leftRE)){
nm = nm.replace(leftRE, rightStr);
}
// Test for rightStr
else if(nm.match(rightRE)){
nm = nm.replace(rightRE, leftStr);
}
e.item().name = nm;
}
}
