Hi Kutty, maxFileName is

Hi Kutty,
maxFileName is what you looking for (#step_1):
$.name = maxFileName -- but if the scene not saved (Untitled) maxFileName return empty string. So, if the scene file name is "test.max", your selected object will be with the same name. But if you want only the name of the scene (without ".max") - #step_2:
$.name = trimRight $.name ".max" -- now your object name is "test"
Or combine code in 1 step only:
$.name = trimRight maxFileName ".max"
