Hi fajar

your method only select all object i one (selection) layer.
i think that dussla want to select all objects with "ss-*" layer name.

Try this

select (for o in objects where matchPattern (o.layer.name) pattern:"ss-*" collect o)

I'll start using it.

thanks.

Selecting by layer property

I am trying to select objects in layers that have a portion of a name and only objects on the layers that are not frozen. The below script works for selecting all of the frozen objects. How do I select the unfrozen objects?

select (for o in objects where matchPattern (o.layer.name) pattern:"*SS Hor*" and (o.layer.isFrozen) collect o)

use this code

select (for o in objects where matchPattern (o.layer.name) pattern:"*SS Hor*" and not o.isFrozen collect o)
