Python du vex string manipulation

[davidyannick]

I'm trying tto convert a python scipt to vex, is there a VEX equivalent to rfind (python) ?

 

node = hou.pwd()
geo = node.geometry()

for prim in geo.prims():
    path=prim.attribValue("name")
    newpath=path[:path.rfind("/")]
    prim.setAttribValue("name",newpath)

Thanks

Bonjour David,

A quick Google Search gives this as the first result → find

This gives the first occurrence instead of the last one. To find the last one, I would invert the string temporarily.

Although it looks like you are trying to split a path to get the name of the file (or the last folder)
There is the splitpath function that does just that.

Hope that helps !
