Mass replacement or renaming of presentation objects

In the process of redesigning our RPD over many years where we have setup areas with repetitive picklists. In our redesign and in the example below, all contain the same objects but are copies of each other with a "#1", "#2", or "#3" after them.
Business Categories#1 |
---|
Business Categories#2 |
Business Categories#3 |
Calendar#1 |
Calendar#2 |
Calendar#3 |
Contracts#1 |
Contracts#2 |
Contracts#3 |
Is there a way or has anyone done a mass renaming? In each of our Classic or DV reports that use a "Business Categories", "Calendar" or "Contracts" item they could have any number tied to an existing report with the suffix of "#1", "#2", or "#3".
Basically looking for a "CTRL-H" option to find all of the above and replace them with:
Business Categories
Calendar
Contracts
Hopefully to have to avoid going into all of our active reports and manually renaming each objects used that has the "#1" type suffix.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

Hi @Scott Searcy ,
You could use the replace command of the Catalog Manager:
runcat.sh -cmd replace -help

Adding to what Federico said: Watch out though. Runcat replace does XML replacmeent for classic objects. There is no equivalent for DV to modify the JSON of those objects.
You'd have to demand this functionality to be added to the product via the Idea Lab:

Also keep in mind that if you datasets or dataflows based on your RPD, you also need to do renaming in there, and there is no tool for that, as Christian said above.

Thank you for all the feedback!
