Hi guys,

bit stuck and could do with a hand!

is there a way of looping through all the objects in the scen and adding matching objects to an array?
e.g.

LOOP
check name
if name = XXX
add to array
END LOOP

many thanks in advance!! :D

string $allObj[]=`ls`;
string $myArray[];
int $count=0;

for ($obj in $allObj) {
if($obj=="myName") {
$myArray[$count]=$obj;
$count++;
}

}

print $myArray;

or just

string $objects[]=`ls "*myName*"`

with or without wildcards on each side
