how to format table string using python [-4:]

Hello all !
I need a other advise in python in touch

in my table i have a name of movie file, let say it call 003_blablabla_1.mov
i get it by my op(‘table_movie’)[1,1]
my final goal is to only get the ‘1’ of my movie name and sen it to a channel of a other op(‘name’)

I know it not working, but this is how i will do it from what i know of python.

A = op('table_movie')[1,1] B = A[-5:] C= B[1:] op('name').par.value0 = C
Is there a place where i can find string modification in touch and how to use it
or let me know if you know the good way

A = op('table_movie')[1,1]

That’s likely going to retrieve a cell object for you. If you want the contents of the cell you should add .val to the end of your reference:

A = op('table_movie')[1,1].val

You might check the official Python documentation if you want more information about working with Strings in python:

[url]https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/string.html[/url]

Additionally, you might consider numbering your files with a leading 0, for example:

003_blablabla_01.mov

This limits the portion of the file that you need to know about. With this in mind you can get the two digits with:

op( 'table2' )[ 0,0 ].val[ -6:-4 ]

I know it a long time, but I am still struggling with that…

[code]rowCheck = op( ‘null_Video_now’ )[‘v1’]
print (rowCheck)
print (op(‘Play_LIST_BACKGROUND’)[rowCheck,0])
print (op(‘Play_LIST_BACKGROUND’)[1,0])

EX = op(‘Play_LIST_BACKGROUND’)[1,0].val[ -6:-4 ]
print (EX)

numberString = op(‘Play_LIST_BACKGROUND’)[rowCheck,0].val[ -6:-4 ]
print (numberString)[/code]

Textport

python >>> 1 None 001_bird_fulsize_2_0.mov _0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/kantanmapper/text3", line 9, in <module> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'val' python >>>

EX (no variable) is the same as numberString ( with variable )
I should have the same resul. But I get ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘val’

What is my mistake and why it not working?

I’m seeing in your print that

print (op('Play_LIST_BACKGROUND')[rowCheck,0])

is returning

None

It looks like rowCheck is a CHOP maybe?

rowCheck =  op( 'null_Video_now' )['v1']

With a none returned like this it seems like maybe ‘v1’ isn’t the name of an actual channel in that op? If you can post a simplified example it’ll be easier to help push you in the right direction.

rowCheck = op( 'null_Video_now' )['v1'] print (rowCheck)

python >>> 1 python >>>

if i just print rowCheck i get 1

i try to make a sample exemple soon .
thanks

ahhhhh!

Sorry about that I was reading a row behind.

Channels are lists of floats, so you might try:

int( op( 'null_Video_now' )['v1'].vals )

To get an integer out of this.

Thanks it help
the op ( ‘null_Video_now’) was a null chop. I was able to get it by removing the .val

[code]rowCheck = int( op( ‘null_Video_now’ )[‘v1’] )
print (rowCheck)

numberString = op(‘Play_LIST_BACKGROUND’)[rowCheck,0].val[ -5:-4 ]
print (numberString)[/code]

python >>> 1 0 python >>>
