Get Selected Channels From Channelbox (with A Twist)

[seith]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a list of all the selected channels in the channelBox, which I get through this:

CODE
channelBox -q -sma "mainChannelBox";

But the little twist here is that I need the list as "long" or "nice" names. For example, I need "translateX" instead of "tx", or yet "scaleZ" instead of "sz", which is what the above line of code returns...

(In case you're wondering: I know it's the same, but I'm trying to make the next poseLib version compatible with poses recorded with previous versions.)

I could also manually match every "short" name to their "long" alias, but that's sloppy coding, and I'm sure there must be a simple way to cleanly get the right name.

Thanks in advance!

Try This code maybe it will help you

CODE
string $get_obj_sel[]=ls -sl;
string $get_vall[]=channelBox -q -sma "mainChannelBox";
string $get_obj_atr=$get_obj_sel[0]+"."+$get_vall[0];
string $print_long=longNameOf($get\_obj\_atr);
print ($print_long+"\n");

Excellent! Thanks so much Kurianos3d, that's exactly what I was looking for!
