You might want to use a XSICollection. I don't have XSI in front of
me, but that would look like:

oColl = XSIFactory.createobject( "XSI.Collection" );
oColl.items = "Sources.Material.*.material name";

if( oColl.count > 0 )
    blah


To find out the actual string to use, select the material object with
command logging enabled. Replace the library name by a wildcard.



Cheers
