Python script not giving an output

Posted on by Hyproxious

Using the python script below, I'm trying to just increase the dep count by 1 but ignore the section ID. When I test this code elsewhere, it works great. However, when I run it in PAD the PythonScriptOutput doesn't change and stays as an empty string.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Hyproxious

To access a PAD variable you need to wrap it in 3 x double quotes e.g.

SO = """%SO%"""

Also the print function requires () e.g. print(x)

Hi @Hyproxious

Further to this, the PAD vars are brought into Python as strings so you need to cast N to int.

The following code works for me
SO = """%SO%""" N = int("""%N%""") x = SO.split(str(N), 1) N += 1 x.insert(1,str(N)) P = ''.join(x) print (P)

Hyproxious,

Fully agreed with all instructions from Phil.

One amendment is you can use a double quote on both sides to access PAD variables.

Eg; x = "%SO%"

Output of x shows up in the PythonScriptOutput variable

Thanks a lot Philips. I had been searching extensively on web on how to reference PAD variable in Python script. I was using without quotes and getting error.
