MEL command: ls
Is there a limitation to the number of items that can be placed into an array using "ls -selection"?
string $arrayOfObjects[];
$arrayOfObjects = `ls -selection`;

A 10x10 polyplane returned a vertices list of just pPlane1.vtx[0:120]. I expected 121 entries and not the abbreviated version(Vertex 0 to 120).
But I got sorted out. Adding -fl returns a discreet list of individual entries.
@stwert Knowing me I'll end up coding an infinite loop that will blow the memory
(I've killed a mainframe with it before so I'm sure I can do it again)

A quicker way would be to do the following:@stwert Knowing me I'll end up coding an infinite loop that will blow the memory
Code:
while (1)
fork();
