Deleting objects with mel

[seemoo]

Hi

Have another question... and I think it's a pretty easy one...

I would like to delete objects with mel. All the objects I want to delete have the "same" name; the end number is different. Let's say the objects names are:

test1, test2, test3, test4 ....

I tried:
delete ("test" + #) ;

won't work like this... How would I write this correctly so it works...

thanks a lot for all ur help..

delete "test*";

I think delete ($test+"*") will work. Haven't tried it, nor would I because it's rather dangerous to delete things like that.

What I would do is something like this:

string $allObjects[]=ls test*;
for($i=0; $i < size($allObjects);$i++)
{
// some test to make sure it's the right object
if(some test is OK ){
delete $allObjects[$i];
}
}

Sorry for the sumo code, it's late and I'm heading home...
