HI :slightly_smiling_face:
with this code, I find an select, only object by name Cube.

if I wanted to find all objects by partial Cube in name?, example: AlphaCube or CubeBetha or AlphaCubeBetha?
Thanks!

Hello,
you might use a hierarchy traversal(or lampda with a key) and check if the desired name is in the object´s name. Therefore a string could be treated pretty much like an array...
import c4d
def GetNextObject(op) :
if op==None:
return None
if op.GetDown() :
return op.GetDown()
while not op.GetNext() and op.GetUp() :
op = op.GetUp()
return op.GetNext()
def HierarchyLoop(op,name) :
collection = []
while op:
if name in op.GetName() :
collection.append(op)
op = GetNextObject(op)
return collection
def main() :
op = doc.GetFirstObject()
name = "Cube"
allObjectsWithName = HierarchyLoop(op,name)
print allObjectsWithName
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
Best wishes

Hi,
I assume, Martin's code already solved your problem.
Nothing much to add, but for completeness sake:
There's actually a function, that can search for an object with he closest matching name: SearchObjectInc() Unfortunately it returns only one object, so it's useful in very specific cases, only.
And on hierarchy traversal we also have two articles on our blog:
Non-recursive hierarchy iteration
