What you have there is a series of Python statements, not a single Python
expression which you generally want for Nuke knob values (though if you really
need to you can do it with statements, look it up...)
expression: nuke.thisNode()['file'].value().split('/')[13]
statement: a = nuke.thisNode()['file'].value().split('/')[13]
Note you need to use nuke.thisNode() which is a magical reference to the
'current' node Nuke is evaluating things for.
Also note you might not actually want to use value() on the file knob, but
rather evaluate(), or possibly even nuke.filename(). All of these things are in
the Nuke Python docs if you want more info on them.
Good luck!

Subject: [Nuke-python] Simple string implementation question
Hello all,
I'm sure you've heard it here a million times already, but I'm a complete
python newbie in desperate need of help
I am trying to create a read node that has a label taken from the 13th
directory from its path name.
I can get it to print the name of the 13th directory using
a = nuke.selectedNode()['file'].value().split('/')[13]
print a
but I cant seem to implement this into the label of a read node
Any clues?
RP
