Kathy,
Are you familiar with the ³reid² and ³remat² commands in MGED? The reid
command will renumber all regions under a given combination. It walks the
hierarchy and automatically set the region ID on regions it encounters,
which may work even better for you than ³wcodes² or ³idents².
That said, the rcodes/wcodes problem is a ³bug². Not technically a bug, but
it¹s a stupid path limitation. There is/was both a limit on the length of
object names as well as a limit on the depth of paths that those commands
will work with. I just applied a change to those commands that should make
the problem go away (should be in 7.16.6 or later).
I¹d encourage you to submit a feature request [1] to have those sorts of
limitations and issues resolved if you know of any others.

Cheers!
