Or just use perl OUTSIDE of the mud to do this: perl -pi~ -e 's/66(\d\d)/17\1/g' file.are where 66 is the first two numbers of the vnum (what they are) 17 is the second two numbers(what you want them to) file.are is the one you want to change This would change all references to 66XX for example to 17XX, etc and on down the line. If you do this inside of the mud, your mud won't boot, it'll try to load the area, detect conflicting vnums and then not load it up at all. IF you do this though, be careful, if you're using OLC2, because this will change the vnum for the prog, but NOT the vnum of the file the prog is written to (because they're written separate from area files w/ olc2). All you have to do there is make sure you renumber the prog from 66xx.prg to 17xx.prg
