#86 Group Label Shortening With . at end

[cowsandmilk]

A nice feature of the new groups is that if the group label is a prefix of the names of the group members, the names of the group members are shortened. This doesn't work if the group name ends in a period though. See the attached for a screen shot. PML code is below:

create a.a, all
create a.b, all
create a.c, all
create b.a, all
create b.b, all
create b.c, all
group a., a.*
group b, b.*

It works if you used two periods in your object names.

create a..a, all
create a..b, all
create a..c, all
group a., a.*

We have a clustering program that outputs stuff where we end up with objects named

prot_name.cluster_name.member_name , so when I group them, I'd like it to be:
prot_name.
cluster_name.
member_name
cluster2_name.
member_name
prot2_name
...and so on

That's what I think is pretty
