Help with script

[Bobo]

I have this script that assigns a basic material with a empty bitmap assigned to the diffuse slot. And it gives the material the same name as the object. Here it is:

What I would like to do now is automate the bitmap assignment. so that if the bitmap name was the same as the obj name then is there a way to tell this script to grab the bitmap with the same name as the object and load it?

I hope I explained myself right.
Just a small change:

for obj in geometry do
(
local mat = standard name:obj.name
obj.material = mat
obj.material.diffusemap = bitmaptexture filename:("E:\3dsmax6\Images\"+obj.name+".jpg")
)

Thanks for all your help Bobo...again.

I am getting this error when I evaluate.

-- Syntax error: at bad, expected <keyword arg>

-- In line: obj.material.diffusemap = bitmaptexture filename:("E:\3dsmax6\images\"+obj.name+".jpg")

Do you know what it means? because I sure don't.

Thanks again

Ah, your error, my bad :)

for obj in geometry do
(
local mat = standard name:obj.name
obj.material = mat
obj.material.diffusemap = bitmaptexture filename:("E:\\3dsmax6\\Images\\"+obj.name+".jpg")
)

or

for obj in geometry do
(
local mat = standard name:obj.name
obj.material = mat
obj.material.diffusemap = bitmaptexture filename:("E:/3dsmax6/Images/"+obj.name+".jpg")
)

because \" means "use the quote inside the string", so it did not close the string correctly.
ALWAYS use double-backslashes inside of script code or just single slashes.
