rename in PyMel

[bartlomi...@northumbria.ac.uk]

Hi

I have a question. I want to create in pymel a 'while True' loop
how can I add variable to my rename object?

example

i = 1
while True:
pm.rename('group' i '|old_name, 'new_name')



so for example i = 1 so my 'group' should be 'group1'. I am not sure how can I make it. How to add variable input into the name of the object?

You can use string formatting, to create a string with variable values:

    pm.rename('group{0}'.format(i), '|old_name, 'new_name')

Out of curiousity, what breaks you out of your 'while True' loop? Or was this only a partial example of what you intend to do?
