simple ilogic to difference between titles

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:14:55 GMT

Hi All,

Been struggling getting this to work: we have two types of drawing. one starts with L30, S89, C20 ETC for standard drawing parts and the other starts with 123-4567, 590-0101 for Purchase parts.

I am able to difference the two by using that firstletter as a string that RevCOde is = 65 (based on what I red from this site, ASCII character code for capital A) (not sure if this is the best way but it works) , but there are also two types of drawing file that I want to do for description

Title 1: without comma then description goes to description

Title 1: with comma, the second portion of comma goes to subject which works fine.

everything works fine if I ran it with say L30-1234 TITLE 1, TITLE 2 but if doesn't work with L30-1234 TITLE 1 its still running the second command. I believe the problem lies in the If, ENDif and AND but I cant quite pinpoint it. Thanks for any help!

If Firstletter < RevCode Then
iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = description
docfile.ComponentDefinition.BOMStructure = 51973 'BOMStructureEnum.kPurchasedBOMStructure
iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = "LIBRARY PART"
End If

'drawing items
If Firstletter >= RevCode Then
iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = description
iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = ""
End If

If (Firstletter >= RevCode) And (FileName Like "*,*")
iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = commadescription
iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = Subject
End If

Would this work better?

If Firstletter < RevCode Then
	iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = description
	docfile.ComponentDefinition.BOMStructure = 51973 'BOMStructureEnum.kPurchasedBOMStructure
	iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = "LIBRARY PART"
End If

'drawing items
If Firstletter >= RevCode Then
	If (FileName Like "*,*")
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = commadescription
		iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = Subject
	Else
		iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = description
		iProperties.Value("Summary", "Subject") = ""
	End If
End If

Thank you so much for that fast reply, I been scratching my head since last night. I didn't know how to put and if inside and if as you can tell.
