print rotation coords in quaternions

its 2 mouseclicks and 1 f1 click away so i dont know where the problem is in finding the solution
simply select a function or word you like to research like "quat" and hit F1

for o in selection do 
(
 local tmR = o.transform.rotationPart
 print o.name
 format "% % % %\n" tmR.x tmR.y tmR.z tmR.w
)

and dun worry it didnt read like it otherwise id have you wait a week for the full answer; my way of dealing with someOnes hissyFit ;)

Thank you for all your help :)

take a look into the maxScript help, its actually usefull ;)

:P Dont think I dont read it, I have honestly spent more time reading that thing in the last three weeks than doing anything else other than getting errors from max from running my attempts. I just seem to be finding it quite difficult atm

But fair enough I see how it might look (like Im after you doing my work for me) and I should work this stuff out myself or how will I learn. probably was a bit quick to ask for more help on this anyway.

Thanks again for the help you did give though and I dont mean any of this in a rude way in case it reads that way.

Thanks for your help but how do I get it to print without the brackets and quat? I need to use it amongst other data from objects and for multiple objects

$.transform.rotationpart

format "% \n" $.transform.rotationpart
