Changing names of objects in a group

[neilblake]

if a have a group g_base which contains X1_base X2_base X3_base etc, is there an easy way to create a group G_ALT from it which is comprised of X1_alt X2_alt X3_alt etc?

Code: Select all

wfcreate u 100 for !i=1 to 3 series x{!i}_base series x{!i}_alt next group g_base *base group g_alt %list = g_base.@members for %j {%list} %prefix = @left(%j, @instr(%j, "_")) %new = %prefix + "alt" g_alt.add {%new} next

Could I use this to create a group where the member are just x1, X2, X3 etc rather than X1_alt, X2_alt, X3_alt etc?

Yes, just change the %new line
