hi there mel masters,

i got a problem in my script,

what i want to do: i want to list all the file nodes in maya and select them all, so i got this script,

string $asNode = `shadingNode -asTexture file`;
string $text[] = `ls -type $asNode`;
select -r "$text[0]";

but unexpectedly it is just creating a file node and not selecting the file nodes in the scene and printing an error like this

// Error: file: /home/demo/maya/scripts/conformText.mel line 4: Unknown object type: file1//

what am i doing wrong?

thanx
