[SOLVED]Group name to string

[cudarsjanis]

Hi.

How could I convert primitive group name to a string attribute?

I have few groups - group _01/02/03/.... and I just want to get numbers to use them as integers in vex, just to apply random color.

int group_number = opdigits(@name);

@Cd = set(rand(group_number), rand(group_number*1502), rand(group_number/1560));

Doing it with the name SOP, but what is the way of doing that in vex?

Thank you

Cheers

Janis

Thanks a lot.

this is what I used at the end.

string primgrps[] = detailintrinsic(0, "primitivegroups");
s[]@primingrps = {};

foreach(string grp;primgrps){
    if (inprimgroup(0, grp, @primnum)) append(s[]@primingrps, grp);
}

int group_number = opdigits(s@primingrps[0]);
@Cd = set(rand(group_number), rand(group_number*1502), rand(group_number/1560));
