    Hi all!

    Wondering how I can scrape a selected track's output? I'd like to store it as a variable to route a track.

      Hi Mark

      This should do the trick;

      sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

const outputPathButton  = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.invalidate().outputPathButton;
const outputPath = outputPathButton.popupMenuFetchAllItems().menuItems.find(mi=>mi.element.isMenuChecked).path;

//Close the output Path Popup
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

log(outputPath);

          Hi @Kitch

          How would you do this to scrape multiple outputs for all selected tracks? I'm trying to store all the outputs of selected tracks, to then apply them to the Bounce window.

            Hi @Forrester_Savell,

            Something like this should do the trick :-)

            function getTrackOutput(track) {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    const outputPathButton = track.invalidate().outputPathButton;

    const outputPath = outputPathButton.title.value.split("\n").slice(-1)[0];

    return ["output", outputPath]
}

let trackOutputs = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackHeaders.map(track => getTrackOutput(track));

log(trackOutputs);
