Subject	[Csnd] Opcode that returns instrument number?
	Hello Everyone, Has anyone here ever written an opcode that accepts an instrument name string and returns the number for that instrument? Or is there one natively that I'm not aware of? This would be very handy for keeping your code readable with named instruments while also allowing for the programmatic benefits of numbered instruments -- Sent from: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Csound-General-f1093014.html Csound mailing list Csound@listserv.heanet.ie https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND Send bugs reports to https://github.com/csound/csound/issues Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here

	You can print p1 to get the instrument number from any running instrument, will that do?

	Yes. I forget it's name but there are number to string and strong to number opcodes.

	Many questions like this could be answered with a Search feature in the Csound reference manual. I.e., search: "instrument number to string." I've had many questions like this as well. The manual used to have such a feature. Any chance Search could be reintroduced?

	Thanks for the info, Steven. I wonder how many other users are unaware of this feature? (It is not at all intuitive.) It would be helpful if it were displayed on the front page of the reference manual as well.
