opunhide all nodes using python

[younglegend]

How do you opunhide all nodes in a particular category or a bunch of specific nodes using python? I wish to add this in my startup script.

a simple hou.hscriptExpression("opunhide Sop point") dosent seem to work. Nor does hou.hscript(). What am i doing wrong?

hou.hscript("opunhide Sop point")

should work

oh you're right, it does. Had to restart houdini for some reason.

ok so hou.hscript("opunhide Sop") gives me all the hidden sop nodes but since it's returns a string, how do you make it a list so that i can loop for each node and say hou.hscript("opunhide Sop <node_name>")

 

sop_list = []
for i in hou.hscript("opunhide Sop"):
    sop_list.append(str(i))

for sop in _sop_list:
  node _name = (sop.split(" ")[-1])
  print node_name

This won't work as i realized t's returning a string, not list of nodes

sop_list = hou.hscript("opunhide Sop")[0].split()[2::3]
for sop in sop_list:
    hou.hscript("opunhide Sop {}".format(sop))

or if you want to unhide all nodes of all types

all = hou.hscript("opunhide")[0].split()
node_list = [all[i+1:i+3] for i in range(0, len(all), 3) ]
for node in node_list:
    hou.hscript("opunhide {} {}".format(node[0], node[1]))

That's perfect. Thanks Tomas
