[cloudfx]

Hi all,

I am trying to print all the list of expressions which is whoen when I type "exhelp" in text port.

When I type this, I get only list of the names of the expressions..

Is there any way to get the explanations of all the expressions in one page?

So, I can copy them to MS Word or ant other text sofeware to print out the whole information.

Thanks,

Here: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini9.1/expressions

You could also make some trick with piping help from texport to a file.

Thanks for quicking replying!

It seems like it shows only how it works, but is there any way to see not only explanation but

like this :

float fit01 (float num, float newmin, float newmax)

USAGE

fit01(num, newmin, newmax)

Returns a number between newmin and newmax that is relative to num

in the range between 0 and 1. If the value is outside the 0 to 1

it will be clamped to the new range.

EXAMPLES

| fit01(.3,5,20)=9.5

|

RELATED

* fit

* fit11

* fit10

thanks,

Hey Jae Yoo,

Do this in the textport:

foreach i ( `execute("exhelp")` )
echo $i >> c:/exhelp.txt
end

The above should print out all the help into a text file. The only issue is it's not alphabetical.

Cheers!

...or little longer in Python : (but saves *all help content)

functions= hou.hscript("exhelp")[0].split()
help_ = ["".join(hou.hscript("exhelp %s" % f)) for f in functions]
file = open("./help.txt", "w").writelines(help_)
file.close()

cheers,

sy.

Hi, Thanks for replying.

It works, but it saves only the expression names..

what I want to print is detail information of each expressions explanation.

For example, for fit,

float fit (float num, float oldmin, float oldmax, float newmin, float newmax)

USAGE

fit(num, oldmin, oldmax, newmin, newmax)

Return a number between newmin and newmax that is relative to num

in the range between oldmin and oldmax. If the value is outside

the old range, it will be clamped to the new range.

EXAMPLES

| fit(3,1,4,5,20)=15

|

RELATED

* fit01

* fit11

* fit10

I wanted this information for every each expressions to print.

Thanks!

Doh! I gave you the wrong line.

It should be:

foreach i ( `execute("exhelp")` )
exhelp $i >> c:/exhelp.txt
end

Cheers!
