Hi!

I have many different s@path on prims. I would like to remove the words "MatSG" from all paths. Is there a function for that?

for example, if I had a string 

treeMatSG_topBranchMatSG
should become
tree_topBranch

If you're using vex, you should be able to use `replace`


https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/replace.html [www.sidefx.com]


string str = "treeMatSG_topBranchMatSG"
string new_str = replace(str, "MatSG", "")
