Formatted String Generator
Intro
Build a custom string from an array.
UI
Formatted String - Enter a string. Use {<indexNumber>}
to reference an index.
+ Add
- Use this button to add more rows (indices) to the array.
0:String - The first index in the array.
If you enter {0}
into the Formatted String it will be replaced with the contents of the 0:String index. If 0:String contained "crazy" then entering Here's to the {0} ones.
into the Formatted String would return "Here's to the crazy ones."
The Formatted String Generator can be used to generate dynamic file names. For example, connect some external data via a Spreadsheet to an index of the Formatted String Generator and then connect the Formatted String Generator to the File Name of a Render Queue Item in the Render Manager.
Indices accept strings as inputs. To connect a value use a Value String Generator.
Non indexed entries (empty curly brackets) are enumerated on based on their position in the string. For example, a string containing {} {} {} is the equivalent of {0} {1} {2}. This is also true where indexed and non indexed entries exist in the same string. For example, {2} {} {1} {}
would be interpreted as {2} {0} {1} {1}
