Hrm...then that presents a problem because the command is supposed to call
a definition that takes in that value. How could I achieve that if I had to
take away the quotes? Am i reading your example wrong? It's 3 single quotes
yes? I tried different combinations to no avail.
Thanks so much for continuing to reply though, it's a great help
This is the code I'm still using.
python("import ZebraRig\nZebraRig.doLeftSwitch('''+$refname+''')");
I''ve see the eval command being used in parasing a mel string into a
python command but I'm still figuring out how i could do it.
Thank you
