Search and Replace with Python

[Félix CT]

What is the faster way for search and replace with python?

I know that exist: 

import maya.mel as mel

mel.eval(' searchReplaceNames "side_limb" "L_arm" "all" ')

but here I can't replace the 'L' with a variable.

Saludos!

import maya.mel as mel

newName = "L_arm"

mel.eval('searchReplaceNames "pSphere1" "%s" "all"' % newName)

Yup or even more modular;
import maya.mel as mel
side = "L"
mel.eval('searchReplaceNames "pSphere1" "%s_arm" "all"' % side)

the other cool thing about string formatting this way, is you can do padded numbers from integers

eg; 

'rendername.%04d.png' %12  will result in 
'rendername.0012.png'

P.S. Hi Kurian!

Hi,

You can do this with Python:

toto = 'L_Arm'
toto.replace('L_', 'R_')
