Checking for a material name with jscript

["Gene Crucean" <emailgeneonthelist(at)gmail.com>]

So I need to check and see if a material has a specific name in my scene, if it doesn't exist, I need to create it. If it does then I need to apply it.

Can anyone help me with some jscript? Or samples. Keep in mind I'm scripting retarded :)




if(MyShader shader exists);
  (
     apply shader to partition;
   )
else
  (
     create shader and apply to partition;
  )



Cheers
Gene
