This is a new series I've started explaining the basics of VEX for algorithmic design / procedural modeling which I'm using on daily basis.

In this 6th episode, I'm explaining the strings in VEX, what it is, and how you can use it together with VEX inside Houdini.

I've also started a Patreon, it would be great if I could get your support to continue creating tutorial contents.

00:00:00 Intro / What is a string?
00:00:53 Declare string
00:09:45 Using special characters
00:16:20 Formatting string
00:30:29 String operation
00:33:23 String access
00:39:36 String & array functions
00:59:30 Next topic - Loop

    I'm new in houdini and started to learn vex not so long ago. I can't thank you enough for helping me/us to demystify this software !!! :)))
  • @noc2_art
    You're awesome Junichiro for sharing your infinite knowledge. Thank you!!!!!
  • @Ferocious_Imbecile
    If there's only 151 hits it's not because this isn't an excellent series. It's because learning VEX is not easy. Thanks for your meticulous lessons.
  • @Monompadins
    Before you, for half a day I could not understand how to convert float into a string, thank you very much!
  • @JafarDashti
    To fix decimal formatting issues with "sprintf()" function use %s or %g. it will use the same value as you assigned to variable and no decimal error. Thanks for the video!
  • @guitoma109
    Thanks Junichiro!!! This series should call JuniFlix. See you in the next chapter.
  • @akmalakmal5732
    these lessons are very usefull and interesting! thank you
  • @VicRejkia
    if you struggle with too much decimal numbers, use the "ftrim" function to get rid of the unnecessary => 50.400000 to 50.4
  • @maurypb
    Though string manipulation is... uh... not "fun", thanks again for doing this video! I've been enjoying them.
  • @leflute7191
    Hey! great video!! i got a question... can u use a string array to store variable names, and then acces that variables trought the array? Someting like: int val1 =0; int val2 =1; String array[] = {"val1","val2"}; int val3 = array[0]; ??

    when I select the path to the attributewrangle, the "font" still shows not the text itself, but the path to the attributewrangle. What could be the problem?
