Hello all.
As I told in previous posts, you can open ports within Maya and communicate with it. Now when you send commands you want to receive the result. But there is a problem I found when using previouse approach :
COMMANDS EXECUTE TWO TIMES !
So, how can we execute a command and receive the result? The first step is to find all possible result types for your commands. Until now I found String (“locator1″ for example), array of strings (“locator1 locator2 locator3″ pay attention to the space between the names), integer, float, and array of these. So now how can we handle that broad type of results? can we find a way to do it completely automatic?

Now is the tricky part, what if we want to send a command that has some kind of feedback? how should we get the result of sent command? I searched the Web for a week but there were no result at all, like always in these circumstances I had no choice but to find a way by myself.
