# Maya Ascii Viewer
Maya Ascii file (.ma) standalone viewer, acquire essential file information
and visualize data without needing to wait for Maya to open.
## Getting Started
Download the executable directly [here](https://github.com/leixingyu/mayaAsciiViewer/releases), built with [Pyinstaller](https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/)
OR.
Download the source code and install all the [dependencies](#dependencies)
```
python asciiViewer.py
```
### Scripting
Basic parsing
```python
mfile = r'C:/example.ma'
loader = Loader()
blocks = loader.load(mfile)
```
```python
>> len(blocks) # number of top level maya objects parsed
--------------
4983
```
```python
>> blocks[-1].index # the last ascii block is at line 52223
--------------
52223
>> blocks[-1].desc # short description of the block
--------------
createNode animCurveUA -n "Right_MidFing_02_Pose_rotateY";
>> blocks[-1].asc.read_detail(52223) # full description
--------------
createNode animCurveUA -n "Right_MidFing_02_Pose_rotateY";
rename -uid "693A6E85-4839-D09B-8886-7096150EC40C";
setAttr ".tan" 18;
setAttr ".wgt" no;
setAttr -s 3 ".ktv[0:2]" -5 0.018 0 0 10 2.926;
```
Detail parsing:
```python
>> blocks[-2].__class__ # type of the block, a.k.a the mel command type
--------------
>> blocks[-2].source # source attribute of the connection object
--------------
ikRPsolver.msg
```
```python
>> audios = Audio.from_blocks(blocks) # parse audio node
>> audios[0].path
--------------
C:/bgm/happy-frog.wav
>> audios[0].offset
--------------
0
```
```python
>> refs = Reference.from_blocks(blocks) # parse reference node
>> refs[0].path
--------------
C:/test.ma
>> refs[0].refnode
--------------
testRN
```
