Wirecolor script hep needed.

Hi friends,I am trying to do a script that toggles from a required color to previously assigned color .
For example

for i in geometry do
(
if i.wirecolor != black then
(
i.wirecolor = color 0 0 0
)else
(
--this should get the same wirecolor applied before running the script.
)
)

I am a neewbie in this field.And have got very limited knowledge.Hope to get help for my problem.

I've written something

I've written something similar for materials once, so it was easy to adjust. You have to store the original wirecolors in an array. I wrote some comments into the script, hope it helps:

try(DestroyDialog ro_toggleWirecolors)catch()
rollout ro_toggleWirecolors "Wirecolors" width:151 height:34
(
	local theSel = #() --will hold the unique node handle of the selected objects and their original wirecolor
 
	checkButton ckb_toggle "Toggle Wirecolors" pos:[31,2] width:118 height:30
	colorPicker cp_targetColor "" pos:[-3,2] width:32 height:30 color:black
 
	on ckb_toggle changed state do 
	(
		if state then --if button is checked...
		(
			theSel = for s in selection collect (#(s.inode.handle, s.wirecolor)) --fill the array with the handles and colors
			selection.wirecolor = cp_targetColor.color --apply one color to all selected objects
		)--end if
		else --if button is unchecked...
		(
			for i in theSel do
			(
				theNode = maxOps.getNodeByHandle i[1] --get the originally selected nodes by using their unique node handle
				if theNode != undefined do theNode.wirecolor = i[2] --make sure to check if the node still exists, to avoid a crash if it has been deleted; reassign original wirecolor
			)
			theSel = #() --reset the array
		)--end else
	)--end on
)
CreateDialog ro_toggleWirecolors

Never get low & slow & out of ideas
