try this thing fella
fn selectObject theName=
(
select (for i in objects where (matchpattern i.name pattern:theName) collect i)
)
selectObject "obj1"
PS: obj1 refer as name of obj not direct obj
....remember to add "" before and after the name object...but if youre using edit.text you dont need that

In most cases you need to add
except you search for exact name.
Also "ignoreCase" argument can be important.
Use finditem

objNameArr = for n in $Obj* collect n.name
--#("Obj5", "Obj4", "Obj3", "Obj2", "Obj1")
select (getnodebyname objNameArr[(finditem objNameArr "Obj1")])

barigazy · 2012-06-16
Are you want to find out in which the layer is obj1?
dussla · 2012-06-16
yes
0. layer name in text box
1. collect layer name
2. current layer layer name in text box
or turn on layer name in text box
barigazy · 2012-06-16
If you want to know obj layer name just use
$Obj1.layer.name
--or if you want to collect objs layer names (unique one)
layerNamesArr = #()
for o in $Obj* do appendifunique layerNamesArr o.layer.name
