Merging a specific object from a file?

Submitted by brodie on Mon, 2012-08-20 07:35

I'm quite new to scripting so bear with me.

Essentially what I'm wanting to do is have a low poly object Box01 in one file and run a script. The script would look into library.max for an object with the name Box01 and if it exists, would replace my low poly object.

I can merge in a whole scene, but is there a way to look for that specific object by name?
