I'm trying to automate the deletion of devices, some of which have a title and some only have an ID. This can successfully match and delete based off ID:

import re
p = re.compile('^string', re.IGNORECASE)
for d in dmd.Devices.getSubDevices():
    if p.match(d.getDeviceName()):
        d.deleteDevice()

But I'm trying to match based off the title, so I tried using getTitleOrId instead. This just gives me an attribute error, but I can do a "print d.titleOrId()" and get exactly what I expect. What's preventing me from using getTitleOrId in this instance?

The function you want is just titleOrId - no get.  Is this what you want??  Obviously you change my print statement to your delete.

import re
p = re.compile('^group', re.IGNORECASE)

...   if p.match(d.titleOrId()):
...     print d.id

Wow, that was rather obvious. I found references to getTitleOrId online and thought that I should be using different function in this context.

Jane is correct, the function is just titleOrid().  That's the correct one to use.
