point expression returns incorrect value

[jon3de 66]

Hi, 

I have a point with a string attribute. A null node with a string parameter. 

Inside of the string param I have a point expression that should grab the string attribute of the point from add1. Instead of returning the attrib value "test" it returns "0". Can someone explain to me where my mistake is? 

Thank you very much. 

Jon

Use points() for strings.

Just stumbled over :

It seems there is a special points() expression to read string attributes. That solved my error. Thank you Peter. 

Edit: ...and David
