Hey Nathan, I'm unable to test it right now, but if I remember correctly, I think you can do: const char * expression = "your Nuke expression here" script_expand(expression)
And then you'd get the result in script_result(). You'd still get the result as a string, though, so just convert as appropriate if you need the numeric value as a different type.
