path mapper, variable input

is there a way to pass a variable to the path mapper.

for example i use the path mapper to create a 2d list form a 1D list such as

{A;B}(i) -> {Floor(i/10)}

so that takes a basic list and gives me a tree with 10 items in each branch, but i want 10 to be a variable from another component

it would be great if i could just pass 2 strings so the path mapper would have 2 inputs A and B and i can then pass a custom string for each side of the map A -> B

Hi Robert,

I've been thinking about global variables for a while, these would basically be named values that are available to all expressions running inside the same grasshopper document. There's a number of problems with this, but it should be possible in theory (I borked the first two attempts so far).

global variables sound great. being able to access variables without having a connection sounds good. although for the path mapper i was thinking much simpler, instead of a single input have 3 the list, the left side of the map as string, and the right side of the map as string.
