I'd like to get the selected object name, and then convert that to a string. The aim is to get the name of object 1, tokenize the vertex id then to select another meshes same vertex id
Answering my own question, this seems to be a way to do it
string $vBuffer[]; tokenize $tmpVertSel[$i] "[]" $vBuffer; print $vBuffer;
select -r ( $originalMesh[0]+".vtx["+$vBuffer[1]+"]" );
