Additional Info: 

put it in your max/UI/macroscripts folder...
use customize menue to assign a shortcut or add to quad or toolbar. you can find it under "AK-scripts"

thanks, just give me some

thanks, just give me some time to make it; but if you want to experiment yourself go to maxscript help and find somthing that can return "nodes" that have specified maps in their material property; add those nodes to an array then you can select them .it must be easy and I appreciate it if you can add it to the code.

life is the biggest joke God ever made!

Nice, compact script! This

Nice, compact script! This is quite close to something that I've been trying to script myself. I'd need a feature that would select the objects using the materials, that uses the searched bitmaps... I'm a beginner, and don't really know how to make this happen. :(
