Hello all,
I'm trying to create a text substitution that will insert a range of characters from the file name.
For example, I have a dgn named 123_plan.dgn.
My border contains the text $DGNNUMBER$
I have defined a text substitution in my pen table as follows:
Actual Replacement
$DGNNUMBER$ _FILES_
The result, of course, is that if I print 123_plan.dgn with this pen table, I get "123_plan.dgn" in my border in place of "$DGNNUMBER$".
What I'd like to do, is modify the replacement to only part of the filename. What would I need to do in order for the replacement to show "123" instead of "123_plan.dgn"?
Thank you.
I do have one question. Can you provide more information on the filename structure? Will the part of the filename you want to capture always be at the beginning, before an underscore?
The reality is a little more complex than my example above. All the file names start with a 3 letter identifier followed by an underscore, then the number I'm after, followed by another underscore and the drawing title. So for example:
abc_123456_project plan.dgn
