Houdini 20.0 hapi

hapi.getStringBatch function

Gives back the values of the given string handles.

Usage

getStringBatch(session: hapi.Session, char_array_length: int) → list of str

Gives back the values of the given string handles. The given char array is filled with null-separated values, and the final value is null-terminated. Used with hapi.getStringBatchSize. Using this function instead of repeated calls to hapi.getString can be more more efficient for a large number of strings.

session

The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See hapi.Session for more on sessions. Pass None to just use the default in-process session.

char_array_length

Length of char_array. Must be large enough to hold all the string values including None separators.

Returns char_buffer as a list of str.
