"Find and Replace" functionality in KineFX

[RyanJP]

Hi there, I'm merging two FBX skeletons together and I'm wondering what the best way is to unify their vastly different "Name" and "Path" attributes so I can export to other packages painlessly. Thank you

you can do that with VEX or Python

// two simple examples (VEX):

s@path = "/geo/path/Char01/body/arm/hand";
s@path2 = re_replace("Char","Human_",s@path);
// result: /geo/path/Human_01/body/arm/hand

string s1 = re_replace("/","_",s@path);
string s2 = re_replace("_geo_path_","/",s1);
s@path3 = s2;
// result: /Char01_body_arm_hand
