I am trying to find a way to convert selected textures to lambert. Is there any mel scripts that anybody knows.

maybe explain more detailed what you want to do!?
a texture is what the name says: a texture (file or procedural doesnt matter) and a lambert is a shader! two complete different things. so you cant convert a texture to a lambert.

Lambert is a shading method, that tells Maya how the material behaves visually. You can apply a texture to a lambert material, but not the other way around. (e.g. You apply frosting to a cake - you do not apply cake to frosting).

Are you just wanting to assign a plain lambert to your geometry? You can create a ‘new’ Lambert in the hypershade and apply it to your model(s).
