How batch rename artboards in Adobe illustrator?

Is there a way to batch rename a bunch of selected artboards in illustrator?

any script or plug-in appreciated...

This is a link to AI script reference... maybe comin' handy for developers. There is some objects for "Artboard" and "Artboards".

Answer

This works (save as .jsx in your script folder)

      function artBoardName_serial() {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;  
        for (var i = 0, l = doc.artboards.length; i < l; i++) {  
            if (doc.artboards[i].active) {
                    }
                    // THIS IS WHERE THE RENAMING HAPPENS
                    doc.artboards[i].name = "a"+(i+1);  
                }    
        }


    function renameArtBoard_MAIN() {
        if (app.documents.length == 0) {  
    alert("No Open / Active Document Found");  
        } else {  
            artBoardName_serial();
        }  
    }

    renameArtBoard_MAIN();
