Renaming imported nodes?

[Anonymous]

I´m trying to make a script for rename imported objects automatically following certain rules, and I have problems with that using a stereo camera rig I made...


The code:

$imp = `file -import -type "mayaAscii" -ra true -rpr "cam" -options "v=0" -returnNewNodes -pr -loadReferenceDepth "all" "/192.168.41.11/proyectos/SECRETO MEDALLON/Useless/assets/tools/camara/rig_camara.ma"`;
select $imp;

for( $node in `ls -sl` )
{
rename $node ( `substitute "cam__scn" $node "cam_001"` );
}

I import the file with the "-returnNewNodes" flag for have the list of the imported nodes, then I use this result to, select the imported nodes, and rename it.

It works for the first 2 items in the hierarchy of the rig but for the others don´t change anything and show an the error: // Error: No object matches name //

Do somebody know why?
I attached the camera rig file to check if the problem is in this file

im having issues with the substitute command, need to check what they are,

in the mean time, try the searchReplaceNames command instead.

$imp = `file -import -type "mayaAscii" -ra true -rpr "cam" -options "v=0" -returnNewNodes -pr -loadReferenceDepth "all" "/192.168.41.11/proyectos/SECRETO MEDALLON/Useless/assets/tools/camara/rig_camara.ma"`;
select $imp;
searchReplaceNames "cam__scn" "cam_001" "selected";
