Example​

# Get the Processor's configured arguments:
args = processor.arguments

# Now access the individual arguments like this:
my_prop = args['myProp']

name​

name: str

Get the name of the current Processor. Same as getName

Example​

# Get the Processor's name:
name = processor.name  # Returns the name of the Processor, e.g. 'My-Processor'.

Methods​

expandString()​

expandString(to_expand: str) -> str

Expands all macros contained in a string. For example, if you want to use the USERNAME environment variable, which you have defined in an Environment Resource you can do so like this:

Parameters​

  • to_expand: str

Returns​

str - Expanded string

Example​

# Get the username which is defined in one of your environment resources:
username = processor.expandString('The username is ${lay:USERNAME}.')

# Output: "The username is layline.", where "layline" is the value of the USERNAME environment variable.

Check out the macro documentation for more information on how to address expandable strings.
