How to place few fertices world translation values in an array?

[Robert Bateman]

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
float $p[]; // < declare it first!
for($i=0;$i<size($sel)-1;$i++) {
for ($each in $sel) {
$p[$i] = `pointPosition -w`;
}
}

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
string $each;
float $currentP[];
float $p[];


for ($each in $sel)
{
$currentP = `pointPosition -w $each`;
$p[`size $p`] = $currentP[0];
$p[`size $p`] = $currentP[1];
$p[`size $p`] = $currentP[2];
};



Every three values in the array $p will be the world coordinate of one point,
this of course is assuming you actually have a point selected.

You should probably also use `ls -sl -fl` instead of `ls -sl`. If you have a cube name pCube1 and selec vertices 1,2, and 3 of the that cube are selected, then `ls -sl` will return the string "pCube1.vtx[1:3]". Most commands in Maya won't know what to do with this, pointPosition certainly wont. On the other hand `ls -sl -fl` will return "pCube1.vtx[1],pCube1.vtx[2],pCube1.vtx[3]", this will work much better.
