Hey again! I was wondering if you could perhaps throw some of that
tokenizing help again my way. I'm having trouble getting the right
selection to be able instance in objects. My problem is this, i have
several objects parented to a group. Now my problem is that the list
of the children comes out as this -
[u'Bricks_|_BRICKS_1', u'_BRICKS_2', u'_BRICKS_3', u'_BRICKS_4',
u'Bricks_|Small_BRICKS_1']
Now in order for my other peice of code to work i need to tokenize
every object in the string so that the list no longer has the group
parent in the name, because the group part of the name will throw an
error my way saying invalid selection. For example, instead of the
list above i need the list to be with out the 'Bricks_|' so it looks
some thing like this -
[u'_BRICKS_1', u'_BRICKS_2', u'_BRICKS_3', u'_BRICKS_4',
u'Small_BRICKS_1']
I've tried tokenizing this by using a variation of what you gave me
which is this -
reg = re.compile("([^.]+)\|(\w+)$")
But i can only seem to get this to work on one variable at a time and
it returns the results in the form of a list which is this -
(u'Bricks_', u'_BRICKS_1')
But i was wondering if you know of any way to loop through the
original children list and be left with only '_Bricks_1' and to get
rid of the group name? Currently any loops i'm trying don't seem to
work and i'm at a loss on how to do it. Any help you can give would be
greatly appreciated.
Tucker
