Goodmorning,
I need to save in a string-list the name and id of all surfaces created in fluent.
I did the same with the threads and works as written in the following code, but I don't know how to do the same with the surfaces. I tried with (get-surfaces) but without success. I would ask if someone know how to do that.

(rp-var-define 'a () 'string-list #f)
(rpsetvar 'a ())
(for-each (lambda (t) (rpsetvar 'a (list-add
(rpgetvar 'a) (thread-name t))))
(get-all-threads))
(rpgetvar 'a)

thank you really much
Best regards
Denis

Hi Denis,


I think the Scheme command that you want is

(map symbol->string (inquire-surface-names))

The reason I recommend the (map symbol->string ...) wrapper is that some commands like this return a list of objects/symbols, rather than a list of strings. This can make a big difference -- namely, if you type one of these commands into the Fluent command window, Fluent attempts to display the results, and this can crash the session fatally if the objects are not easy to display. So, save your case before you experiment!


Good luck!
Ed
