Pop Instance Path VEXpression question?

[Tyfx567]

I have a FBX I imported from maya that contains multiple (more than 50) object level nodes called "objectname" + "number" like "debrispieces_01", inside that is a file node with the same name. If I say in the Pop instance vexpression

" float randinst = fit01(rand(@id), 0, 50); 

if( randinst == 1) { popinstancepath = "../../"objectname" + "number"/"file1"/"debrispieces_01"};

"

 

 

I want to do this, but don't want to type this 50 times. Could I put this into some sort of array? Maybe do some python scripting? 

 

Thanks guys!

Figured it out. I can either do an attribute create node above the particles if the points already exist and say "

 

op:/obj/FBX/geo`floor(fit01(rand($PT), 1,4))`/sphere`floor(fit01(rand($PT),1,4))` "

 

Or in the pop instance node I can say this:
 

float randinst = floor(fit01(rand(@id), 1,4));

 

instancepath = "op:/obj/FBX/geo" + sprintf("%s", randinst) + "/sphere" + sprintf("%s", randinst);
