Oh ok. You didn't actually have the charName value and you just want to remove the last component separated by an underscore. I don't really see the reason to try and first parse the token out of the string, and then use it to remove it from the original. You can just use a regex to strip it:
string $srcFile = "blabla_blabla_charName.fbx"; string $saveFileString = basename( $srcFile, ".fbx" ); string $saveFileName = `substitute "_[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $saveFileString ""`; Or you can completely avoid regular expression and just split the string on underscore, and join it back without the last component: string $srcFile = "blabla_blabla_charName.fbx"; string $tokens[];int $size = tokenize($srcFile, "_", $tokens); stringArrayRemoveAtIndex($size-1, $tokens); string $saveFileName = stringArrayToString($tokens, "_"); On Sat, Jul 5, 2014 at 7:16 PM, lala <[email protected]> wrote: > string $srcFile = "blabla_blabla_charName.fbx"; > string $saveFileString = basename( $srcFile, ".fbx" ); > string $charName = "_" + `substitute "^[^.]*\\_" $saveFileString ""`; > string $saveFileName = `substitute $charName $saveFileString ""`; > print $saveFileName; > > apparently its solved now with your help. but if you look at line 3, its > cheap (adding "underscore manually"). but atleast its working. > generally, i am sure, regex in line 3 again (second part) can solve > it..but still, thanks anyways, really appriciate your prompt responses. > always. thats only reason, posting here is more fun than anywhere else. > > On Saturday, 5 July 2014 11:55:36 UTC+5, Justin Israel wrote: > >> That's what you wanted right? >> >>> options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >>> >> -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/a200980e-cd6a-4c72-bd26-c3954639cd3e%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/a200980e-cd6a-4c72-bd26-c3954639cd3e%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
