great this works :o)
can I now ask you how to get this value in the compute() command?
I tried to translate the numeric example that you can find in the doc,
into this:
dataHandle = block.inputValue( attrObj )
myFilename = dataHandle.asString()
but in myFilename I have this: _50425d20d47f0000_p_MString
I can't figure out how to get the proper value I enter in the GUI
many thanks
Bruno
