Function for cleaning up cell names

CreatedByCreator

Does anyone know if there is a way to clean up cell names that have had the "$#" tacked onto the end?

I think the source of these cell name modifications is that I frequently create layouts with sources from multiple libraries which sometimes have cells with the same name. The content of the cells with repeated names should be the same as well, but when they exported without the cell context (or opened by another layout editor), all the $'s appear.

I've also noticed that with multiple libraries linked, the cell names won't show the "$" unless I open the rename cell dialog.

Is there a built in function that will let me replace all cells with *$# at the end regardless of the rest of the cell name? In some instances, there actually is no cell without the $# label (typically labeled $1) and so in that case, the cell with the lowest number $# would be renamed to remove the "$#".

My guess is that this would have to be scripted to whitelist/blacklist certain cell names since for PCells, the $# added to each cell variant is necessary.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!
