Group objects by common partial name matches June 14, 2024, 12:28 p.m.

WHOA! Guys I am sorry for not responding to this. I truly appreciate this help. Thank you so much. Even though it is months late!

Group objects by common partial name matches Dec. 8, 2023, 4:06 p.m.

Not sure if I my ask is using the correct description. Hopefully the image will help explain. I am trying to run a for each over geo that has a bunch of names. Or create groups from each common name block, and then be able to run a for each group etc. The names have common syntax but are not identical. So instead of having 4 "Lace" names I'd love to figure out how to group them to 1 "Lace" group.

Another issue is that I'd like to be able to do this with out knowing what names are present. I know that I can create groups if I already know the partial name, midsole, lace etc. using something like "@name=*ace*" But if I don't know those names. Is there a way to find the common name string and group them.

I hope this is making sense.
