*GET CURVES INDEXES FROM NAMES*
===============================

Looks up the positional indexes of curves within a curve group by matching their names. Provide a comma-separated list of curve names and receive back the corresponding zero-based indexes, which can then be used to address specific curves in downstream workers.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``curve_group``, ``curves``, ``index_lookup``, ``name_to_index``.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Curves
     - curves
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Collection of input curves (curve group / vector of curves) to search within; all curves whose names are to be resolved must be present in this set.
   * - Names
     - namesseparatedby_commas
     - string
     - 0
     - 
     - Comma-separated list of curve names (strings) whose indexes should be retrieved; values must exactly match the name field of curves in the input collection.
