You are up too late. But I am sure you are working on something important. Been doing something like that ${} in fp lib table dialog, but only access to environment variables. Grep: void populateEnvironReadOnlyTable() This is not for output modification, but for cross platform portability, so you can reboot OSes or move your project to a different computer and still have a valid FOOTPRINT LIBRARY TABLE. Still looking forward to playing with some kind of lean python expression evaluator wrapper. Maybe that can be a C++ wrapper class which makes spawning a short lived python interpreter easy. Like real easy.
