performSearchReplaceNames, Not working in Python

[Jake Van]

I am trying to get the Search and Replace window to open up at the end of my script. I have seen things that suggest doing your own search and replace, but I want it to be interactive and I am not that far in Python yet. In fact I just started.

In mel the command 'performSearchReplaceNames 1;' will bring up that window. I have tried various iterations to get it working in Python and nothing has worked yet.

Are there some mel commands that don't transfer into Python?

Thanks for your help.

hey

import maya.mel as mel
mel.eval('performSearchReplaceNames 1;')

good luck

Thank you so much. I now feel very dumb for how long I have been trying to get that to work.
