ND I modified it so that you could either enter an export path or use the current workspace by passing a empty string of the export path. Is there some form of method overloading in mel such that I could simply make a batchExportOBJ() and batchExportOBJ(string path)? Is that something I'd have to write in python for method overloading?

Code:

global proc batchExportOBJ(string $exportPath)
{
    string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
    
    if ($exportPath == "")
        $exportPath = `workspace -q -fullName`;
        
    for ($obj in $sel)
    {
       print("Exporting: " + $obj + " to " + $exportPath + "/"  + $obj + ".obj\n");
       select $obj;
       file -force -options "groups=1;ptgroups=1;materials=1;smoothing=1;normals=1" -typ "OBJexport" -pr -es ($exportPath + "/"  + $obj + ".obj");
    }
    
    select -r $sel;
}
