How to pass string between operators?
I am working on an extension where I will define a model in a string with some operator and then pass the model to a Python operator to parse the model. I noticed that I can only deliver IOObject through the output ports, how can I pass a string between ports? How can I pass a string from self-defined operators to a Python script operator as input?

OPHi @CKönig
Could you give me some examples? I still have no idea.

If I want to pass a string from input port to output port, what should I do?
And if I want to process the string in a python script operator, how should I format the string in the former output port?
Thank you!
Here is an example process how to take the strings from a dataset into python, work with them and return them to RM again.

OP@"CKönig"
Thank you for the example.
However I am working on an extension here, and I guess I can only pass a string like "This is a String" with an IOTable under an attribute "XX"?
At this time I built a new IO type to pass the string between non-python operators, if python operator can only get data from a pandas data frame, maybe I should follow the IOTable way of doing this.

Hi,
what you could also try:
- Generate the complete python code and pass it as a FileObject (for the scr port) or call the Execute Python operator from your code
- Use Macros

Hi @Haoyang
You can pass it as part of an ordinary example set, with one nominal attribute containing one example.
