Using information from the configuration table in postprocessor output filename

[craptree4NU47]

Hi, some of our designs have many many different configurations. I am trying to make the process of generating G-code for each configuration more efficient. 

I was wondering, is there any way to use the configuration name or other configuration table information in the post processor output expressions.

I cant find any documentation that lists what variables exist for these expressions, as the standard expression builder/helper doesn't appear for this dialogue.

Thanks for your help

Hi, @craptree4NU47 
Not sure about configuration names, but design parameters should be available there. And as you can configure them using configurations, they will reflect values from configuration table.

Thanks for your reply

Although that wouldn't be helpful here as I really do need the configuration name (and parameters cannot be text afaik), but I have tried the above, and it doesn't seem to work for me.

Perhaps due to my post? - if thats the case, is it possible to pass this through a regexp to remove it

Would be great if someone could point me to a reference where I can find more functions such as the Util.to.String

Best

You have mistyped expression, it should be "Util.toString".

Reference for manufacture expressions is here .

But surprisingly, I don't see "Util.toString" there.

Thanks Viacheslav, that works now and will be very helpful! I can see in the API there is experimental access to configuration names - hopefully this ends up being accessible data, and also hope that all the Utils. get added to the reference at some point!

Thank you, this was an answer I was looking for too. 

Does anyone know where a more complete list of expression is? The reference link does not seem to contain all the information available.
