It didn't work first, because there was a "$" in the string (it looked like "abc$match"), so took only the part after "$" (and it looked like "match")and it work well. Thank you very much.

By the way, are there any "good" Sketchup Ruby Tutorials/Books for Beginners? I would really like to learn it.

Hi,
I want to select multiple components with similar definition names (like "compo" and "comp#1") in the entire Model. It means, it means not only those inside the selected object, but also the others ones which are inside other objects.

I have the following plugins:
[] "Selection Toys", which selects components from everywhere, but only those with same name.
[] "Select Instances", which selects component families with similar names (like "compo" and "comp#1"), but only inside the selected object and not everywhere.
