Hi Amy,

I don’t think this functions readily exists, but its relatively easy to program. Here’s a Python example for you:

# Function similar to ZPL OBJC
def object_comment(NCE, comment, case_sensitive=False):
    # Number of objects in the NCE
    object_num = NCE.NumberOfObjects

    # Is the search case-sensitive?
    if not case_sensitive:
        # If the search is NOT case-sensitive put 
        # input comment in all small letters
        comment = comment.lower()

    # Initialize list of return indexes
    ret_idx = []

    # Loop over the objects and check the comments
    for obj_idx in range(1, object_num+1):
        # Retrieve current object comment
        obj_comment = NCE.GetObjectAt(obj_idx).Comment

        # Is the search case-sensitive?
        if not case_sensitive:
            # If the search is NOT case-sensitive put 
            # current object comment in all small letters
            obj_comment = obj_comment.lower()           

        # If the comment matches, store the object index
        if comment == obj_comment:
            ret_idx.append(obj_idx)

    # If list is empty return -1
    if not ret_idx:
        ret_idx = -1

    # Return list of inices
    return ret_idx


# Test the function
object_comment(TheSystem.NCE, 'aa')

If I use this snippet in an interactive extension with this NCE:

I get the following output:

[2, 5]

Does that make sense?

@jwbeenakker does it make sense to add this kind of stuff to your ZOSPy? I can put it on GitHub if you think so.

Take care,

David
