    iChar = 0  
      
    if iChar < len(String) :  
          
        for char in String:  
            newChar = doc.SearchObject(char).GetClone()  
            newChar.SetName(newChar.GetName() + '.temp' )  
            doc.InsertObject(newChar, parent=obj_parent)

Pending a solution I use this :

if doc.SearchObject(char) == None:
   continue

import c4d  
  
def main() :  
      
    obj_parent = doc.SearchObject("Parent")  
      
    String = "Hello World"  
    iChar = 0  
      
    if iChar < len(String) :  
          
        for char in String:  
            if doc.SearchObject(char) == None:  
                continue  
            newChar = doc.SearchObject(char).GetClone()  
            newChar.SetName(newChar.GetName() + '.temp' )  
            doc.InsertObject(newChar, parent=obj_parent)

Hi,

I'm actually not quite sure, where you are heading. I don't see a replace operation in your code. What is so bad about your solution presented in second post? In what way does it work different from what you expect?
For the code in your second post, I'd recommend to do the SearchObject() only once, although the speed difference will probably only in very large and complex scenes.
