I tried to use your case and did an update, and it failed badly...
Even so, my method was wrong to begin with, i think. It already fails if I
am trying to do the counter in the middle of the naming
def uniqueNamePattern(base=""):
i = 1
customRepl = base.format('x') != base
if customRepl:
name = base.format(i)
else:
name = base
while cmds.objExists(name):
i += 1
base = base + "{0:0>3}".format(1)
if customRepl:
name = base
print "name1 : ", name
else:
name = "{0}{1}".format(base, i)
print "name2 : ", name
return name
cmds.group(name=uniqueNamePattern("test_"))
