[Closed] Retrieving and getting/setting the value of each property of an object

I can retrieve all the properties I want from an object by using this command (I’m doing this on a Capsule):

objProperties = (for currProperty in (getpropnames $) collect currProperty)

However the result is returned like this:

#(#height, #smooth, #radius, #sides, #mapcoords, #sliceon, #heighttype, #heightsegs, #slicefrom, #sliceto, #realWorldMapSize)

My goal is the be able to copy all of the attribute-values from one object to another (of identical type), but as I normally do this by using $.height, I don’t know how to deal with #height.

I’m pretty sure I’m missing something trivial here, but my google-skills has failed me, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

Is there anything you don’t have the answer to? Thank you again sir, much appreciated!
