Use diesel for part of layout name

[hwalker]

So I've already got this $(substr, $(getvar,ctab),5) which works how I want.

My problem is what if I want to get only the characters after a certain character in this case a dash

The problem is my tab could have two dashes in it

e.g

A2_5433-B-1 How do I get it to only show the 1 at the end and not B-1. Also these names can be of variable length

Using LT2016

Hi,

if you have a range of "between char 8 and 12", then it is possible by using IF

but totally random positions and variable length and a second (same) char,

it's not possible, not well enough.

DIESEL is not dynamic, it is static: you count how many exact characters you want to ignore and the result is what you get.

For example... if your layouts are always the same the the 11th digit is what you want, you can exclude the first 10.
But if it is 10th or 12th, your static diesel is only going to show you the 11th all the time.

Now you know why LISP is such a big deal in LT2024 and LT2025 for users that crave that level of control.
