I've created an example whereby it strips any bitmap filename including path if missing so you don't get that pop up at the beginning when you open the file. 


OldString =@".*"
MapArray = getClassInstances BitmapTexture
for o in MapArray where doesFileExist(o.filename) == false do (
	rgx = dotnetObject "System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex" OldString
	filename = rgx.Replace o.filename ""
	o.filename = Filename
	ATSOps.Refresh()
)

.*

matches any character (Greedy)
