syntax to select an object

[jettam]

I am trying to select an object in my scene called 'r_leftWingA'   

I made another object named leftWingA and assigned it to 'L_WingA' 

Now I am trying to figure out the syntax to select it. 

I've tried 

mc.select('r_'+ (L_WingA))

mc.select('r_'+ L_WingA)

mc.select('r_'+ str (L_WingA))

L_WingA = mc.polySphere(n='leftWingA')

mc.select('r_'+ str (L_WingA))

Thank you in advance..

I figured it out.  I needed to select the first item in the list with [0]   

mc.select('r_'+ (L_WingA[0]))


Since I figured it out, and it's a simple QA, should I delete this post, or leave it here for someone else?

No need for deleting posts just because you figured it out before someone was able to reply :) 

We only delete spam or inappropriate content.
