[solved]Filtering string paths by "/"

[teddy28]

Hi there,

 

I am working with alembic files from maya which I want to use as packed rbd inside Houdini. I want to specify some groups in maya to mark as same path attribute so I can pack it by name.

For example I got 2 obj from maya which the hierarchy path is

/aaa/bbb/cc/dShape

/aaa/bbb/ee/fShape

How can I only get the /aaa/bbb/ as the name attribute to make them as one.

 

Or there is other better method for that?

Thank you very much!

I solved this problem by using split function.

python code / drop it in the text editor 

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

for count in range(2):
    for prim in geo.prims():
        path=prim.attribValue("path")
        newPath=path[:path.rfind("/")]
        prim.setAttribValue("path",newPath)
