A python expression aware of the channel name it lives in?

[Symbolic]

Hi,

For a python expression in a channel box, is there a way that this expression can query the name of the channel (parameter name) that it lives in?

ex:

a string channel has the following expression:

hostChannel="some python methode to get the channel name"

return str(hostChannel)

So the string in the string box is the actual parameter name.

Thanks,

The $CH variable will tell you what your parameter is called, so you could do this:

hou.expandString("$CH")

Great! Works perfectly. Thanks.
