what's the equivalent of chraw and chsraw in Touch?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

I have a channel containing the formula: ch(“someotherchan”)*3

from hscript I need to assign that formula (not it evaluation) to a variable.

in houdini I can use chraw or chsraw - what about touch?

thanks,
dani

I’m assuming the channel is inside a parameter?

You could start with parmls.
Example: set a = parmls /geo1 tx

This will return “tx $F”
You’d have to strip out the first word though, using the substr expression.
