How to Transfer all shaders and mesh attributes between similar objects/chars? Followup

[Michael.Launder]

Hello friends,

I had a script that would transfer shaders by object name, but alas it has been lost. This is a relatively common problem but I don't see a lot of posts about it (that are current) there was one with the full name above but its links are all 404.

But overall, I need a python (or mel) script that takes the shaders from one group of objects and applies to another group of objects with the same names. Any help would be appreciated.
