In my scene, there are the following joints:
- testing:joint1_ent
- testing:joint2
- testing:joint3_ent
- testing:joint4
- testing:joint5
So I am trying to grab the 2 joints that ends with `_ent` and I used the
following code:
If I wrote my `cmds.select` as:
cmds.select('*_ent')
cmds.select('*_ent*')
It does not works and returns me `# ValueError: No object matches name:
*_ent #` or `# ValueError: No object matches name: *_ent* #
However, if I wrote it as `cmds.select('*:*_ent')`, only will these 2
joints be selected.
Additionally, I also tried to select by using the namespace..
# Does not works
cmds.select('testing*') # ValueError: No object matches name: testing* #
#Works if I added in the colon
cmds.select('testing:*')
If someone could kindly advise me, is this by design? I asked, because say,
using the abive same 5 joints (but without the namespace), if I do a
`cmds.select('joint*')`, it will returns me all the 5 joints. And hence my
confusion here...
