How to rename copy library with prefix/suffix added in all the cells

Hello, 

I saw some of the posts regarding this issue. But, most of them are dormant for some time and I have some unique requirements:

1. The code should allow me to replace existing prefix with the new one

2. The code should add/replace prefix for all the cells hierarchically during the copy process. Eg. I copy A0_topCellA which has subcells names subCellA, subCellB; it should be able to rename everything as B0_topcellA, B0_subCellA,B0_subCellB.

3. It will only replace a specific prefix, if there is no prefix, it will add the new prefix. (Eg. #2)

Please let me know if there a short cut to do this embedded in Cadence system. If not, I highly appreciate any SKILL code in this regard.

Regards,

Kalyan

    I fixed the links in your other post https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-skill/14366/how-to-add-prefix-to-all-instances/1359698#1359698  - maybe that will give you enough information to know where to start?
