hi

I want to write script that search for attribute for selected node, but i want only those in attribute editor.

I assume that there is no such command in mel , that is done with AE templates for nodes.

One solution i have is to search through AE UI , to find controls but i conclude that is not "goood" solution.

I looked in AEtemplates scripts and i think there only strings which define attributes starts with (".) , ".exampleAttr".

So my idea is to search in all those files and keep string ".*"(".something") and delete evething else.

Is this possible to do in some text editor.UltraEdit has command replace in files , but that don't "solve" problem.


Maybe there is some easy solution ,that i'm not aware off :).

Please comment and put some idea how to do this.

From your question am I correct in saying you want ALL the attributes that would show up in the attribute Editor? including bounding box info and mental ray flags?

You can use the listAttr -visible command to get all the non-hidden attributes, but if the AETemplate author has used the -suppress flag on any editorTemplate commands then you'll never know unless you manually parse the AETemplates yourself - which isn't very realistic.
