I want to write a script, the goal is to find a Token object (has been created) in the model, then transfer its length to string, and return it, how can I do.
how to find (reference) Token in script?

Hi @laijunyi1996,
It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.

Thanks.
I hope my model works like this
queue1: inventory
queue2: waiting line
branch: generate demand（random number of box）
first, operator1 take 10 groups of boxes from queue1 into queue2, then flexsim send the demand quantities of each branch to python , then python calculate the best transport route (VRP problem), the drivers transport box along given route.
so I want to achieve that flexsim can collect the quantites of each demand , then spell them in to a string, then send it to python. this requires that flexsim locates these tokens (GroupOfItems1234), return its quantites in script.
If you have a token for each box/item then you can create a pointer to the token that created it (or was created by an item event). For example in the Create Objects activity you can add the pointer like this:
Using the pointer you can then get the unique id from the item reference using:
Token mytoken=item.token; int myid=mytoken.id
or
item.token.as(Token).id
This way the token has a label 'item' and the item has a label 'token' so they can find each other without you having to search through all the tokens.
