Quotes within quotes"

[oldiesgoodies]

Hi

I have an expression like below and I cannot get it to evaluate properly

tex("T:\TEXTURE\color_`stamp("../copy1","color",0)`.jpg",$BBX,$BBZ,r)

I am trying to use stamping from a copy node. This stamp expression works well normally, but I cannot make it work inside this expresion. I can use COPS for it but the "pic" function is extremely slow.

thanks

It's not stamps() you need, rather than stamp()?

Sorry, I tried my above tip and it doesn't work. Here is a workaround that does work though:

Just above that node create an attribute called $COL and stamp it. Then the following should work:

tex("T:\TEXTURE\color_$COL.jpg",$BBX,$BBZ,r)

[anim]

or

if you want it all in one expression it would be

tex("T:\TEXTURE\color_" + stamp("../copy1","color",0) + ".jpg",$BBX,$BBZ,r)

Thanks guys, I went ahead with the attribute method. It is also good to know that string addition works.
