group string edit?

I wanted to try and do some string edits to primitive and point groups. I can use the group node to do my work but it requires several group nodes. I was wondering if there is a means to edit group names via expressions, or code of some sorts? Also what is a group if it is not an attribute?

You can create, delete and modify groups with PythonSOP or VopSOP.

As to what they really are... looks like they're the thing called doubly linked list in C++. They are not attributes, which might be a reason they are slow and kind of tricky (how long we were waiting for groups support in Python..?). Things are changing though, seems like they become something else in H12...

Cool info. More stuff to think about and play with. Let's hope in H12 they are better and more manageable.

Thanks SYmek.
