like this

ENV_buildings
ENV_curbs
ENV_details
ENV_furniture
ENV_grass
ENV_pavements
ENV_pools
ENV_roads
ENV_sand
ENV_sea
PLANT_shrubs
PLANT_trees

thanks in advance

see if it works. I didn't test it in max

(
	names = for s in selection collect s.name
	qsort names stricmp
	ss = stringstream ""
	for n in names do format "%\n" n to:ss
	SetClipboardText ss
)

there is two little request if possible:
copy layers in alphabetical order
and add three spaces in the start of each row. like this:
   ENV_buildings
   ENV_curbs
   ENV_furniture

 

big thanks in advance

This works for me:

macroscript CopyToClipboardLayerList
category:"bga"
tooltip:"TOOLTIP NEEDED"
buttonText:"TEXT NEEDED"
(
	fn copyToClipboardLayerList includeZero:off =
	(
		e = if includeZero then 0 else 1
		string = ""
		for i = e to layermanager.count-1 do string += ((layermanager.getlayer i).name + "\n")
		setClipBoardText string
	)
 
	-- if argument "includeZero" is ON then Zero layer will be included in the string list or exclude zero layer with OFF (default is off)
	copyToClipboardLayerList()
)

This is the FN

fn copyToClipboardLayerList includeZero:off =
(
	e = if includeZero then 0 else 1
	string = ""
	for i = e to layermanager.count-1 do string += ((layermanager.getlayer i).name + "\n")
	setClipBoardText string
)
 
-- if argument "includeZero" is ON then Zero layer will be included in the string list or exclude zero layer with OFF (default is off)
copyToClipboardLayerList()
