ADDQUOTES

[] ADDQUOTES

I wrote this user action while I did my variables bonus tutorial. As you might know, it is possible to use LOM/API references to define a variable. e.g. [] %lom-object% = song.view.selected_track.name

will catch the name of the currently selected track and store it in the variable %lom-object%

To use it in Clyphx though, you would need to mark it as a string or in other words you have to put quotes around the content. Unfortunately, this is not possible natively, but this user action is exactly written for this. I got a suggestion from tassos on discord and he tweaked the code slightly so now it will also work with any strings which have whitespaces, which was previously not possible. thanks.

Syntax fort the example above with the variable named lom-object:

[] addquotes q_lom-object %lom-object%

or more broadly:

[] addquotes dest-variable %source-variable%

argument 1 is the name of variable to save it to and argument 2 is the source variable. in this example you now can do a track action and use %q_lom-object% to point to the track which was selected when you did fill the variable.
