Something like the exec() command in python.

Thanks for the response.
hmmm...I tried the following line in a attributeWrangle lop but no dice. Am I missing something?
string code = "usd_setvisibility(0, @primpath, 0);";
`code`;
See screenshot, you make your to-be-executed string in a string parm and have a backtick-ed hscript expression insert it into the code. Instead of parms you can also pull a string/value out of a attribute or whatever, as long as you do it with an expression.
Anyways, Houdini will first run the expressions, after that the vex code that is then executed will internally looks like this:
printf("vex says: Hello\n");
f@someAttrib=0.35 * @ptnum;

More code, less clicks.
