[MACRO] Analyze a string

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2017 08:20:29 GMT

Hello guys,

I was wondering if Powermill has any macro function that analyzes a string. Something like the Visual Basic ".contains" function.

I want to read the name of a tool and determinate by the name what king of holder it has.

Thank you

If you give an example with several typical names, I think, that we will find a solution.

In the parameter reference, under Functions, there is a list of functions that can used in strings such as Position, Substring, Tokens, etc.
