S.O.S!!!
Hi,
I'm very new with maxscript,
and i need to deconcatenate (with split and slice?? like in js) some strings
and unfortunatly, i'don't have any idea how to do that:
--1 make a collection of all obj in the scene named "*_Master":
for h in $*_Master do print h.name
-- i obtain a list:
--"A135_gg_PersoName_Master"
--"B256a_AnimName_a_gg_Master"
--"B256a_AnimName_a_gg_Master"
--"B256a_AnimName_a_gg_Master"
-->2 i need to keep only the fisrt letter: "A" or "B" of each obj founded
-->3 make a condition: if it's A: split "_" to obtain: "PersoName"
-->4 find this PersoName folder and import it
if anyone can help me with this, it would be geat because i'm lost :(

thanks a lot!!! do you know
thanks a lot!!!
do you know why max is merging the layers when merging similars max file? and how to avoid this?
maw
whaou! are you a human?
it's almost perfect, but it's opened the oldest scene, it's possible to inverse it, and get the newest instead?
do you know how to close the dialogue box after pressed the button?
i'v got only 2 others littles troubles and after it's hollidays for you and me :)
-- how to select a merged max file?
-- and skip messages box when merging a Max File : message box 1: objet :autorename -- message box 2: materiel: use merged materials
--i'd try this but nothing appened...
mergeMaxFile @"Z:\ModelPath\ModelName.max"; #select #autoRenameDups #useMergedMtlDups
--how to select all the first childs of a layer and put them in another?
layer.setname "LayerName"
select (#() + LayersChilds) -- ???
for n in (selection as array) do layer.addnode n
.
The code that I post finds the last modified scene. I don't know why it not works for you. This is the part of the script that does the job:
lastModifiedDate = amax filesModDateArrYou can try this:
lastModifiedDate = amin filesModDateArrto see which file will be selected. OR write your own function that will compare the results in the filesModDateArr and will find the last modified file.
-- how to select a merged max file?
To select mered objects you have to use the #select argument
-- and skip messages box when merging a Max File :
the quite:true argument
Using your code(there is no ; after the file path):
--how to select all the first childs of a layer and put them in another?
To select the objects from layer with tha name "Layer001" use this:
To put the selected objects in another layer(with name "Layer002") use this:
By the way, there is no need to select objects when you have them stored in array. Selecting the objects in the script will selects the objects in the scene and this will slow down the speed of your script. For example, you can combine the two snipets above like this:

Hello miauu, sorry to had
Hello miauu,
sorry to had send you so much text last day, it was an error... when i want to open the scene by last modifaication date:
-- prompt user to ask a number of a plan
global LL_Layout
try(destroyDialog LL_Layout)catch()
rollout LL_Layout "Enter Layout Plan to open"
(
edittext plan_name "plan"
button open_plan "OPEN"
on open_plan pressed do
(
if plan_name.text != "" do
(
-- get the number entered and make a variables:
planName = plan_name.text
camName = "107_"+ planName
-- path for open scene:
LoadPath = getFiles ("C:\\Users\\manue\\Desktop\\la_station\\les_legendaires\\"+camName+"\\"+camName+"*.max")
-- open last scene by date founded:
if filesArr.count != 0 do
(
filesModDateArr = for f in filesArr collect (getFileModDate f)
lastModifiedDate = amax filesModDateArr
index = findItem filesModDateArr lastModifiedDate
lastModifiedFile = filesArr[index]
format "_indx: % \n" index
format "filesArr: % \n" filesArr[index]
format "filesModDateArr: % \n" filesModDateArr[index]
-- "works with the last modified file"
resetMaxFile #noPrompt
loadMAXFile lastModifiedFile quiet:true
)
)
)--end on
)--end rollout
createDialog LL_Layout 250 75
the answer is:

do you know why? thanks again :)

What you post(and use) is not the script that I post earlierl. The error is on line 19.
The filesArr variable is not defined in your code. You have LoadPath variable(which collets all files). So, replace filesArr with LoadPath, or replace LoadPath with filesArr and test the script again.

I can't test the code
By the way, paste the code using "

Hello everybody! i'm trying to make a maxscript to open a scene and save it, do you know where i'm wrong? because nothing is working :(
by advance, thank you to make my dream become true...

YOu have some errors in your code.
I assume that you want to open and save each file separately?
makeDir tries to create a folder that is not declared in the script. If my example is wrong, use the proper variable.
