how to maxscript rename multiply object?

Question

I'm a newbie, I want to ask one thing how to change name prefix on multiple objects/bones for example

object_123 object_234 object_345

I just want to change the name of the prefix "object_" which will be changed to "subject_" and the result will be like this

subject_123 subject_234 subject_345

I will appreciate all incoming replies thank you

You can use substituteString to do the string replacement, for example to change the prefix on selected objects with matching names you could do it like this:

for obj in selection where matchPattern obj.name pattern:"object_*" do
    obj.name = substituteString obj.name "object_" "subject_"
