creating Multiple empty groups in maya

[Vishal Kadam]

Need to create Multiple empty groups for the list of names in maya

for example I have

doorBell01

doorBell02

doorBell03

doorBell04

need all the list names into empty groups in maya as doorBell01_GRP and if I want to add prefix as prop the first letter for every name should be capital, and remaining letters as it is 

so finally name of the groups should be

propDoorBell01_GRP
propDoorBell02_GRP

propDoorBell03_GRP

propDoorBell04_GRP

[Vishal Kadam]

can this be possible using python or mel

[Soham Parmar]

from maya import cmds


def addPrefix(prefix):
   for obj in cmds.ls(sl=True):
      cmds.rename(obj, prefix + obj)


def addSurfix(surfix):
   for obj in cmds.ls(sl=True):
      cmds.rename(obj, obj + surfix)


addPrefix("test")

addSurfix("test")

This will work selection based.

this one is fine but I don't have any obj or group nodes in maya scene so for example I use this below script in new maya scene

from maya import cmds

mel.eval("CreateEmptyGroup;")

def addPrefix(prefix):
   for obj in cmds.ls(sl=True):
      cmds.rename(obj, prefix + obj)

addPrefix("prop")

Result will create a empty group node with prefix like

propnull1

I want the result should be 

propNull1

so here prop Will be in lowercase and null1 only First first letter should be caps 

I have a list of names in a text file

example:-

doorBell01

doorBell02

doorBell03

doorBell04

so final output should be 

propDoorBell01

so in this case only D should be in caps with prop as prefix and remaining should be same 

Actually I have a list of names in a text file and I want to rename them by adding prefix and only only first letter should be caps, 
I have tried to do this by renaming tools but couldn't find any, 
then I thought this could be done with python butI don't know How

I know its confusing Hope you understand what I need

If you're interested in learning Python more generally, have a look at Justin's Python tutorials, they are a fantastic way to get started I think, and gets you all the way to making GUIs with Qt
