Houdini 11 Expression functions

Returns the raw expression value of a parameter as a string.

Usage

chsraw(channel)

Variables will NOT be expanded. If the given path is a channel, then it returns the expression of the channel that is evaluated at the current time.

Note

If you do:

echo `chsraw("channel_path")`

...this will appear to lose your formatting because hscript expands double quotes before passing the result of the backtick expression to the echo command. Multiple levels of escaping is necessary in order to maintain them.
