if @name string contains the word "rock" put primitive in a group called rock

[anicg]

I've tried:

if(find(s@name,"rock")==1) @group_rock=1;

but the number of primitives in the groups is 0, while there are a lot.

Basically there are a lot of primitives, some have the word "rock" in the @name attribute, others don't I just need to isolate the ones with "rock" in the name. Should I be using a different function?

try this code:

if(match("*rock*",s@name)) @group_rock=1;

It's also possible to use 

~=

for string matching.

 

@group_rock = s@name ~= "*rock*";

in your case should work as well.

You can also just use a Group SOP, and set the Base Group to

@name=*rock*
