Function Designer Syntax?

Hi,

is there a manual/tutorial of some sorts somewhere that explains the syntax usable in the expression designer? It's really not intuitive to me.. " """ etc. ;D

Have you seen the "Display function list" button?

yes, I have! actually, the question directly stems from working with your "split list every nth" definition, where you reformatted lists to fit the desired inputs of other components.. i.e. "{"&x&"}" to put formerly "naked" items in parentheses. I never could have figured out that string by myself, hence the question whether there's a reference somewhere!

Hmmm... I don't know if there is one central source.

I would always recommend looking through RhinoScript101 for general information:

The ampersand you specifically mention is used for string concatenation:

But you can also format data with standard VB.NET functions (see the reply from David in this discussion):

thanks taz!, I'll check the sources - but good to know that it is possible to use VB.NET, even though I don't know anything about it, yet! ;D
