Rename Symbol

[J. Miller 5]

Is there a way to re-name a Symbol the is currently in the Active File. I would like to concat some additional text to the end of the existing name.

symname := GetSymname(h);

seem to be missing a SetSymName(h, Concat(symName,'_blah') or something like this?

Thanks In Advance

Hi Jeff,

Here is a quick test that works on single-symbol test file.

hth,

Frank Brault

Procedure RenameSymb;
Const
kSuffix = ' symbol';
Var
gSymName : String;
gSymDefHan : Handle;

Begin
gSymDefHan := FSymDef;
gSymName := GetName(gSymDefHan);
Message(gSymName);
SetName(gSymDefHan, ConCat(gSymName, kSuffix));
End;
Run(RenameSymb);

SetName(h,name); will do the trick.

EDIT: sorry, didn't see Frank's post
