Hi.I encounter strange problems using FindObject() in my script and in a COFFEE-Menu-Plugin. The code reads the string from a file containing names and referring numbers, such as Deutschland;15Italien;10Schweiz;35.......
It should find the corresponding Extrude-Nurbs named "Deustchland", "Italien" etc. and set the extrusion amount to the number assigned in the file. This works only for the first set of name and number from the file.
After this there is no object found although all names and numbers are extracted correctly when i print them in the console. These are the two functions responsible for data extraction and setting of the values. Note the recursion.>

Thanks again folks

in the second code function:
for(; i<length; i++) { if(!isdigit(content _)) break; }
This line will stop as the first char is not a digit, so it will always be initialised with 1 if my just woken up eyez see it right. could be the problem.
Cannot see anything else.

Hi Samir.
Thanks for your reply. I solved the problem. It were the linebreaks in the textfile, they were not visible in c4d. Although the whole string was shown in one line in console there still were linbreaks. So the extracted string "Deutschland" was actually "\nDeutschland".
cheers
