Hey all! I'm building a tool that will refresh the libraries of selected collections. I've almost got it but I want to be able to adjust the collection trailing number (present in all of my collections) so that it doesn't matter what 3 digits they are. Here is my example variable: colfilename = "SHW_" + a + "Rigging_v\\d{3}.blend" Whereas a = selected collection Blender returns the \\d{3} literally in the string. Returns: "SHW_CollectionName_Rigging_v\\d{3}.blend" I would expect it to return: "SHW_CollectionName_Rigging_v123.blend" #or any 3 digit number after the "v" I am using import re to allow for regular expressions. The tools I'm developing will use this or a similar method a lot as I continue so any suggestions on how to handle this are welcomed!

Hey all! First time writing here and following along slowly (just wrapped part 1!). I've been writing very simple code to get my head around bigger automation ambitions and have run into a small issue learning how to play around with certain functions inside of Blender. I use the python tool tips extensively to make super simple toggles, etc but every now and then I hit a tool tip that seems to be abridged using and ellipses (...) instead of the full code. For the most part I'm able to bumble around in the API docs or use the autocomplete to get to where I want but in this case I just cannot figure it out. Specifically I'm trying to exclude a collection from a render layer and cannot get there. I've posted a snip of the tool tip. If anyone has any advice on how to do this specific task (just the simple one line answer to exclude or include) or more specifically how to find the full length tool tip in these cases as they come up (I'm sure it'll happen again) that would be great! Thanks! P.S. Some sensitive data is marked out.
