Just tried this regsub example on windows and it doesn't seem to work. I tried a simple example w/out the expression and something wrong:

echo `system(“echo testme | perl -pe ‘s/test/me/g’”)`

on linux I'm returned:

“meme”

on windows I'm returned:

“testme | perl -pe s/test/me/g”

I'm not in the habit of running houdini on windows too often.. but this should work all the same

perl comes installed by default on most (or all?) linux distributions. On windows, this is not the case. So you need to download and install perl. Here's a link where you can download it:

Yup, I actually have perl installed and it's in my path. Maybe there's some other env setting I'm missing?

My gut tells me that building up hscript is the best solution of them all. Give it the functionality it needs to do what you want, especially handling of strings, vectors, matricies, and arrays. The overlap between this and VEX will get blurred pretty quickly.

So, if we consider that hscript hasn't changed much in the last 7 years, what are the odds of this happening anytime soon?
