Hi everyone.
I have an Fbx file that comes from Revit with a few layers, and Houdini translates them into groups. Unfortunately it also creates a group per each object that goes like “@Layername<Objectname>”
Now i need to get rid of all the “<Objectname>” and instead leave only “@Layername” possibly deleting the “@” at the beginning.
I need to keep the groups as simple as “Walls” “Doors” etc.
What would be the best way to go?

So apparently i was wrong and those were not groups but piece names.
I may need then to rename all those pieces, keeping only the first part until “<” and getting rid of the remaining characters.
Would this have to be done using a loop for each geometry with some vex? or is there a node that does that in a simpler way?

There are a few string processing operations available in VEX such as splitting and substitution and regex. Looping is implied by the run-over type, in this case primitives.
Something like my example below may work for you.

string splits[] = split(@name, "<"); if (len(splits)>1) @name = strip(splits[0], " ");
