Replace "_" with "/" in the FILENAME FIELD used in a Title Block Attribute.

No aplicable

Hello, 

 

I wish to know if there is any way to replace "_" with "/" in the FILENAME FIELD used in a Title Block Attribute.


Our client requires drawing title to be in the format XX/XX/XX/XX but unfortunately Windows allows us to save the files in the XX_XX_XX_XX. 

It would save me a lot of time.

Thanks and Regards, 

Kavitha.

Hello ,

 

Windows doesn't let users use some specific symbols because it would create problems for many applications. Therefore I'm suggesting that You either:

- Suggest to Your client, why They should not use that kind of names

- Use the Special symbol as a substitue - You can use "Division Slash" "" (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2215/index.htm)  instead of "Forward slash" "/", and this will be accepted in Your Windows filename. Then You'll just have to update Attributes.

 

 

 

Kind Regards,
Pawel

Your client must not use Windows: contact them and inquire, you two need to be talking to each other. FInd a happy compromise together. You can't fight Windows requirements.

I believe using something else other than a file name field
should do the trick. A while loop using VL-STRING-SUBST
or use VL-STRING-TRANSLATE.

Posting your question in the Customization section might
get you the answer you are looking for (provided you are
not using a LT product).
