Assuming you already know how to get and set the texture filepath, and have the texture path value as a variable: path = 'project/create/Maya/sourceimages/room/texture.exr' you should be able to use one of the many possible approaches to extracting the substring. First you have to start with some known prefix you want to preserve. prefix = 'project/create/Maya/sourceimages/' new_prefix = 'path/to/new/sourceimages/' You could use some of the built in string methods to replace the prefix: path.replace(prefix, new_prefix, 1)# 'path/to/new/sourceimages/light/exr/light.exr' new_prefix + path.partition(prefix)[-1]# 'path/to/new/sourceimages/light/exr/light.exr' If you want more control over the substitution, such as being able to only replace it if it actually starts with your prefix, you could use a regular expression: import re re.sub(r'^' + prefix, new_prefix, path)# 'path/to/new/sourceimages/light/exr/light.exr' re.sub(r'^' + prefix, new_prefix, 'dont_replace/'+path)# 'dont_replace/project/create/Maya/sourceimages/light/exr/light.exr' Justin > Justin made a awesome YouTube blog, but I have no clue how to solve > procedurally this path problem. > > Thank you! > > -- > 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 python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/a72d98b3-63cf-465d-abaa-4b99e1951f97n%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/a72d98b3-63cf-465d-abaa-4b99e1951f97n%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
