Edit Part number field in assembly and all children

[coreyparks]

I am wondering if anyone has some code that will allow me to edit the part number iProperty in an daasmbly and indise of all its children.  I don't mean write over whats there but to be able to look at the part number, strip off the first 7 or so digits and then replace those digits with a number of my choosing.  I have modified some code to do this on the top level but I get lost when trying to traverse through the component occurences, I can't grab the child components part number and mofify each one indiviually.  I am not well versed in code but if I get something close I can usually make the changes required to get things to work. I don't care if its using VB or iLogic, either one will suffice, thanks.

What functionality do you need over just opening the BOM, exposing the part number row, and manually changing it there?

I could do what you say but there are 100+ files in the drawings I am trying to copy with special part numbers to get certain rows to combine.  Until about 30 minutes ago , just before I read your reply, I realized there is a find and replace function in the BOM that I had never noticed before.  All I have to do is expose all of the files, select everything at once and then right click on the selected part number field and select replace.  This did exactly what I needed in about 60 seconds or so on a 160 part assembly.  So to answer your question, apparently I don't need anything more than what is already there.  Thanks for the reply.
