how to get part of label from another label

[raashid_mohammed1]

[ FlexSim 16.1.0 ]

What is the code I have to write to pull only the object part of the label

For example I have label - item /object/Value

I want to get only object out of the label called item above

so other label should give me label - DockName - object

Please help see below token

I'm a little confused by your question, but looking at the values in the table I can see that the item label has a reference to the OAK5-NIGHT object inside the Dock20 object.

To get the OAK5-NIGHT object you'd just use the getlabel command:

treenode obj = getlabel(token, "item");

[raashid_mohammed1]

So item = /Dock20/OAK5-NIGHT

I want DockName value to be just /Dock20

[Matthew_Gillespie]

//Get the referenced object
treenode obj = getlabel(token, "item");

//Get the object that contains the referenced object
treenode parent = up(obj);

//Set the DockName label to have a reference to the parent object
setlabel(token, "DockName", parent);

Or in a single line:

setlabel(token, "DockName", up(getlabel(token, "item")));

Using an Assign Labels activity it would look like this:
