or if you are searching for something, you could make a set of for loops to find it;
for i=1, #c do
if c[i].Name == "SomethingI'veBeenLookingFor" then
p = c[i]
end
end
print("Found Item: "p:GetFullName())

I use GetFullName in that script. Though the script doesn't have TOO much use ....

It also might be useful for loadstring, because you can't pass objects when you solely communicate a string, so this is a compressed way to tell where to find the object you're looking for.

And, as the other people stated, it's good (sometimes) for debugging.
