Batch Rename Tracks and Audio Outs?

Is there a way to prepend (prefix) the name of existing tracks with incremental numbers?

Kick
Snare
Hihat

Becomes…

001 Kick
002 Snare
003 Hihat

It seems like the PLE only does prepend incrementally with “generate” new names. It doesn’t seem to be available for just adding an incremental numerical prefix to the existing name. Does anyone have a method for this?

(Wonderful for exporting raw waves for sending to mix engineer working in another DAW…)

I completely hear you, I used this just this weekend with the awesome batch renamer in Pro Tools Opift (Option+Shift (⌥⇧)) + r and padded 160 tracks with 1 or 2 zeros and it went across VCA’s, subgroups, video tracks etc. So nice when brining things over into Reaper after consolidating files. That way they all import in order and show what tracks are missing with the gapped numbers.

Yeah, I ended up cross grading to Nuendo, which can do this…
