Hi Thoma. My advice would be as a starting point don't use the re module if
you don't have to. You can isolate the version in a much more readable way
using standard python string and list methods. The code below reads as
follows.
"For a given file path, split it on its separator and for each item you get
in that list find the item that returns True for the following two
conditions: 1) that it begins with 'v' and 2) that everything after the 'v'
within that one that you found is a number.
##################################################
theFilePath = "x:/projects/sequences/shot_01/v003/"
theFilePathAsList = theFilePath.split("/")
for anItem in theFilePathAsList:
if anItem.startswith("v"):
if anItem[1:].isdigit():
print anItem
#################################################
Hope that helps
Pete
