Hi everyone.
I'm stuck on a problem while developing a small tool for Maya. Basically, I
have a folder with some filenames in it which have been returned by
os.listdir().
These filenames look something like...
apple_d.jpg
apple_si.jpg
apple_sg.jpg
box_d.jpg
box_si.jpg
pumpkin_d.jpg
Right now, I'm using os.listdir to get the filenames, and then each
filename becomes a selectable option in an option menu in maya. The code
is...
objects = os.listdir(dir)
for object in objects:
cmds.menuItem(label = object, parent = "objectMenu")
My problem is that I don't want duplicates of the same object in the menu
and I also want to truncate everything past and including the underscore.
So for eg, if my filenames are the same as the example above, I want to
change the list so I have this instead...
apple
box
pumpkin
I have tried splitting the filenames, but so far haven't had any luck.
for object in objects:
sorted(set(object.split('_', 1)[0]))
cmds.menuItem(label = object, parent = "objectMenu")
Also, I tried .rpartition but also no luck. I'm very new to python and this
has me stumped.
Any suggestions would be most welcome! ;)
Cheers,
S Tozer
