Get Pipeline Parameter Count

This command allows users to easily access how many values are contained within a previously defined pipeline parameter.

Command Syntax

The command can be found in the Pipeline Workshop within the Pipeline Control folder as so:

Get_Pipeline_Parameter_Count
/PARAMETER_NAME=
! /PARAMETER_VALUE=
;

Command Parameters

The following table shows the command parameters that can be used to define the command and their descriptions:

Parameter	Description
Parameter Name	Name of the parameter generated, which contains the count.
Parameter Value	List whose items we want to count.

Examples

Example: Create List Parameter and Count Values

Create a parameter with three values, then retrieve the count:

Set_Pipeline_Parameter
/PARAMETER_NAME=TEST_PARAMETER
/PARAMETER_VALUE=ONE+TWO+THREE
! /PARAMETER_VALUE_SEARCH_FOR=
! /PARAMETER_VALUE_REPLACE_WITH=
! /PARAMETER_VALUE_PREFIX=
! /PARAMETER_VALUE_APPEND=
;

::TEST_PARAMETER = ONE+TWO+THREE

Get_Pipeline_Parameter_Count
/PARAMETER_NAME=COUNT
/PARAMETER_VALUE=ONE+TWO+THREE
;

::COUNT = 3

Example: Count Number of Signals in a Folder

More usefully, we might want to count the number of a particular item contained within a file. For example, we may want to know how many TARGET signals are included in a specific C3D file.

Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_List_Of_Signal_Names
/PARAMETER_NAME=TARGETS
/SIGNAL_TYPE=TARGET
SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL
;

TARGETS = LAS+LPP+LPS+LTH1+LTH2+LTH3+LTH4+RAS+RPP+RPS+RTH1+RTH2+RTH3+RTH4

Get_Pipeline_Parameter_Count
/PARAMETER_NAME=COUNT
/PARAMETER_VALUE=::TARGETS
;

::COUNT = 14
