I want to assign materials to groups with similar names.

I have countless groups with (automatically generated) names such as:

groupname_F_0_Geometry

It's the 0 that changes to 1,2,3…etc

Can I use a wildcard for those numbers?

I tried groupname_F_*_Geometry and it doesn't create an error, but no effect either.

Try iy like this


`groupname_F_+“*”+_Geometry`

that should work :wink:

Ah, I'm afraid, that causes an error message.

I would assume that would work. It should group anything that ends in “groupname_F”

groupname_F*

Soothsayer
Ah, I'm afraid, that causes an error message.

are you sure you are typing those as backticks as the ones next to the one key?

and yeah groupname_F* or even groupname_F_*_geo should work fine, I think I made a bit complex but is also useful

Oooooh….the backticks!
