[SOLVED] Using a table cell to get a parameter

General TouchDesigner Discussion
1

Hello,
I cannot find the way to use the text of a table cell to get a parameter.
Here is what I try:

param = op('paramList')[1, 2]
print(param) # I obtain 'Opacity'
paramPath = 'parent().par.' + param
print(paramPath) # I obtain  'parent().par.Opacity'

How can I obtain the value of the parameter ?
I tried:
value = paramPath.eval()
value = paramPath.val
value = val(paramPath)
But obtained only an error.
Any idea to solve that?
Thank in advance,
Jacques

SOLUTION
Thank to Elburz, here is the solution

param = op('paramList')[1, 2].val
value = getattr(parent().par, param, 1)
# to set the value
parent().pars(p)[0].val = value

Hi @jacqueshoepffner,

just an additional simple way of doing this: .par is a ParCollection Class object and it’s items can be easily accessed using the [] subscript:

op('base1').par['Myfloat5']
