Nice, compact script! This is quite close to something that I've been trying to script myself. I'd need a feature that would select the objects using the materials, that uses the searched bitmaps... I'm a beginner, and don't really know how to make this happen. :(

thanks, just give me some time to make it; but if you want to experiment yourself go to maxscript help and find somthing that can return "nodes" that have specified maps in their material property; add those nodes to an array then you can select them .it must be easy and I appreciate it if you can add it to the code.
