trim string quotes

[Cory_K]

How do you trim quotes from either side of a string.

I have a property node outputting the value of a selected cell, but it outputs:

"string"

i just want it to say:

string

And im not sure that this output is even of type string,

the context help window says it is of type  "array element.value (variant)"

Any thoughts?

You don't have a string, you have a variant. Use "variant to data" to convert the purple wire  back to a pink string.

That explains why I couldnt use any string functions
