Input custom string in a font SOP

[CaptainAhoy]

Hi,

 

I am a noob in houdini so please excuse my way of explaining this..but I was wondering how to have the following functionality ::

 

I have a font node which outputs a specific word (ex: george) after every few number of copies. I want to have a custom String box on the top node which enabled the user to change the word "George" into a word of the users choice without going into the font node.

 

code in the font SOP ::

`ifs(stamp("../copy1","stepnum",0) % 3 == 0,"George"

 

I want to have a String box on the top level so the user can change "George" into any other word.

 

I hope I explained that correctly.

 

Thanks

something like:

`ifs(stamp("../copy1","stepnum",0) % 3 == 0, chs("../../stringparm"), "" )`

where "../../stringparm" is relative path to your string parameter
