wrangle - string reference in vex from spare parameter

[hughspeers]

Hi there, this is probably way simple and a dumb question  but....

I'm trying to make a tool that will use a string from a spare parameter and use it to reference geometry on a drive. 

The point() function works if I type in the value - check . I can make a new attribute and reference the spare parameter- check. 

But when I use the string attribute or directly reference using ch('myparameter') from within the point() function I draw a blank. 

I suspect its changing the string to float or something in the point() function. 

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

//mycode 

s@mystring =  chs(“geo”);

v@Cd = point("mystring",“Cd”,@ptnum);

v@P = point(“mystring”,“P”,@ptnum);

Your attribute is already a string, so dont use the quotation marks.

point(s@mystring,"Cd",@ptnum);

That works a treat Thomas 

Thankyou very much
