Hi Tracers!
I want to program a simple scene with displays the various metal
textures of metals.inc
in square arrays of 5 x 5 spheres for each metal type.
To do this easily from a nested loop, I tried something like
texture { "concat("T_Brass_", str(a+1), chr(65+b))"},
but got an error message, whether I put the whole thing in
double quote marks or not. Is there any way at all to convert
a string literal into a texture (or object) identifier?
See you in Khyberspace!
Yadgar

Check the Parse_String macro in strings.inc.

Yes, I looked it up, but it seems quite cryptic to me, I just don't get
how it works and how it's used...
...and when I then tried
texture { Parse_String (concat("T_Bronze_", str(b+1), chr(65+a))) }
I got the error message
"Numeric expression expected but } found instead"...

str() needs a couple more parameters is all. Use str(b+1,0,0). Those are the
string length (plus padding)and decimal places. This way you get just the
float value as a integer. Otherwsie you've got it... except I don't know
where T_Bronze textures are, so guess you have them there someplace.
Metals.inc has Copper which is said to be bronze-like.

Please note that this is the wrong group for your question. this group is
about the POV-Ray source code, not about using POV-Ray. Please read the
messages in the group povray.announce.frequently-asked-question - they
explain which groups serve what purpose.
