Identify, quantify forms do in Rhino with Gsh

Hi guys. Is there a way to identify and quantify in Grasshopper different forms do in Rhino and give to them different layer??

Example:

I do in Rhino 1 Square, 2 Rectangles and 4 Pentagons. I would that Grasshopper recognize the 3 different forms, that quantify them (1 SQ, 2 RECT, 4 PENTA) and then put it in 3 different layer for baking in Rhino.

Hope that someone could help me.

Here is a general approach.

objects are stored in branches considering number of sides and regularity, for example the branch {4;0} contains the curves with 4 segments with irregular lengths (rectangles), {4;1}=squares, {5;1} = regular pentagons etc.

Baked to layers with the Lunchbox bake tool {4;0} will go to layer 40.

Use Replace String to give better names.

Hi Systemiq, thank you for your reply. But I've a problem: 6 files are missing, there are no battery after "Data with 4 branches" ... I don't have Lunchbox etc ... How can I solve it?
