im trying to get a parameter within a SOP to reference that SOP's name. eg. geometry File SOP (named cup_1) opening the file named cup1 using a reference to the name. This way I could copy and paste the File SOPs, and they would open the incremented files without having to go inside each SOP. Also, is there a way to open multiple files with a single SOP

You can just use $OS. Another way is to use `opdigits(“.”)` to only get at the trailing digits from the name of the operator.

While you can't open a bunch of geometry files simultaneously in one SOP, you can use the backtick (`) key while in the network editor to create a whole bunch of them at the same time.

thanks! that was exactly what i needed
