Is There A Way To Change The Shader Type By Script?

[o6o2]

i have to do a lot of importing from max to maya, and the default texture is always phong and i would like to change it to blinn. it can get nasty and time consuming to manually select and change each one. is there a command in maya that would access the shader type and change it?

just disconnect teh shader form the sg, create new one, copy values by name connect the new one to sg. Delet eold one.

Tip: turn echo all opn, use the drop down menu in tha AE and look at what the script editor echoes. The function does exactly this.
