How to create a group based on name?

[houdiniwhy]

Hello I'm a beginner. I want to group those pieces if it's started with 'wh'. somehow it is all divided by numbers at the end.

i guess i have to use VEX to organize all the pieces. please help me

The partition node is what you are looking for.

You can feed the rule parameter with something like

grp_`@name`

in your Group SOP you can do 

@name=wh_*

to group all elements whose name starts with 'wh_'
