Change name of send and receive at once to all send/receive?
Assuming I have in a patch send with the name 'drum' and I also have multiple receive with the name 'drum' . Is there a way in Max to change all the sends and receive in the patch with the name 'drum' to different name?
yes, open max patch in text editor and replace all drum with xxxx.
yes, open max patch in text editor and replace all drum with xxxx.
what about sends and receives that are inside p patcher? are they will be also accesible?
what about if my sends object are only [s] instead of [send] ?
maxpat opened in text editor lists all that is included directly into patcher itself.
Also embedded bpatchers.
you can search for s drum AND send drum
and replace both with s XXXX
but be aware that s drum could be contained into
something else, like s drumsy or js drum.js and so on.
so allways search quoted text
"s drum"

This is great! Thank you
P.S.
one can do the same to .mxf files, but ALLWAYS keep same number of chars.
Because max collectives include a primitive checksum,
and if file gets different in size mxf gets broken.
In addition, windows text editors like notepad are not
working well for this.
