MAXscript: select by name?

How do you select object in the scene using wildecard? Just like in the “H” panel?

for example:

select $plane01

selects that one object. What if you want to select all *plane objects?

It seems sooooo simple, but the listener is completely useless, even for such basic tasks…I mean, even Photoshop action recorder is more advanced!

Thank you all,

forget it…I figure it out.

I was writing $*plane in a scene with no object corresponding to that string…I meant to write $plane*, which correctly selected all planes…

thanks.

There is a script in the blur script pack that can do this I belive.
