expression in text node

[Anonymous]

Hello forum,

I have a text node which I want to print out the current seconds. My expression is very simple:
intframe]/[knob root.fps the problem is that I cant write it in the text message because it read the (/) as symbol and not as divider between the current frame and the fps. Then I created a user knob in the shame text node, a simple integer which was able to read the above expression and give me the result. But when I linked this knob with my message field, prints the expression and not the result.

Does anyone knows how to fix that, I will be interest to know
1. how can I use mathematical symbols as (+, -, / etc.) in the text node.
2. how can I link the result of an expression in the text node and not the expression itself.

thanks

Not in front of my workstation at the moment but try ‘escaping’ the character like this

intframe]/[knob root.fps

or this
intframe]”/”[knob root.fps

Try Python :

[python int(nuke.frame()/nuke.root().fps())]
