Rename blocks in script

    Does anybody have some code to rename blocks that I can use in a script. I
    can't just use the rename command because not all the blocks exist in all
    the drawings and the command will fail. I need to batch about 200 drawings.

    Thanks in advance

    Wouldn't that be
    (if (tblsearch "block" oldblockname)
    .... ?

    Can't change it if it doesn't exist.
