try this thing fellafn

try this thing fella

fn selectObject theName=
(
select (for i in objects where (matchpattern i.name pattern:theName) collect i)
)
selectObject "obj1"
 
PS: obj1 refer as name of obj not direct obj

....remember to add "" before and after the name object...but if youre using edit.text you dont need that

...

In most cases you need to add

"*"

except you search for exact name.
Also "ignoreCase" argument can be important.

Use finditem


objNameArr = for n in $Obj* collect n.name
--#("Obj5", "Obj4", "Obj3", "Obj2", "Obj1")
select (getnodebyname objNameArr[(finditem objNameArr "Obj1")])

If you want to know obj layer

If you want to know obj layer name just use

$Obj1.layer.name
--or if you want to collect objs layer names (unique one)
layerNamesArr = #()
for o in $Obj* do appendifunique layerNamesArr o.layer.name
