Getting send names on a track

@raphaelsepulveda
@Chris_Shaw
Thank you both so much for your input. I posted before and deleted my post as it wasn't really clear. I'm gonna try again now :)

I'm at the setup stage of my script.

I'm declaring a lot of constants, as follows

. Let user define the name of his hardware FX sends

. Get the Main output level and Main output assignement of every hardware FX return using the storeHardwareFxReturnLevelfunction (we print pre-fader and group with original track later, so this makes sense in my case).

I know it's a lot, but it's very clear for me that way.

What I'd like the script to do is the following.

. Scan the selected track for HW sends
. If it finds any of the hardware send defined in the constants, use the createStereoFxPrintTrack(hardwarename, hardwareoutput, hardwarevolume) function for each one of them OR use the createMonoFxPrintTrack(hardwarename, hardwareoutput, hardwavevolume) if the FX Return is MONO. In my case for BINSON and F63 SPRING.
So something like "If send to hardwareFX01 and hardwareFX05 exists, apply createFxPrintTrack with the right parameters).

. Move on to the next track and repeat

A couple notes

. I think in my case, it makes way more sense to have the script work for ONE SELECTED TRACK, and then have it repeat for all selected tracks. The reason being, this way it'll be easier to have the print tracks next to the track that had the sends

, Also, I don't really mind if it takes time, even if it is 10/15 minutes. This script will be run after printing the Main passes of a mix, and it will allow me or my assistant to take a well deserved break while it sets up. We then do the prints manually as we can optimise by printing several at the same time, and I don't feel you can automate this :)
I could also run the script for ONE track mid-mix if needed to.

My main problem is that I don't understand how to get the "if you found some of the hardware sends in the array, do this" part.

Does that make sense to you guys? Once again, thank you so much for your time.

The code (really unfinished, just trying to have basic constants and functions) is below:

const hardwareFX01 = "M7" //<-------- Name of your FX Return Track/Bus/Send goes here

Yeah!

Ok, I'd start by putting together a function that makes the sends inactive. You can find that here Make specific send slots inactive
The next thing would be finding the tracks that contain the hardware fx and fetching their sends—the code for that is in this thread.
Finally, it would be a matter of iterating through the tracks and their sends and inactivating the ones that meet the criteria. Very similar to my script above, but instead of creating print tracks, it's inactivating sends!

Good catch!
