Link Partial text

[madstrolle]

Hi,

Is there a way to link some of the iProperty text to another iProperty text. Eg. end of Partnumber, to end of Description?

If I Copy a part, the Partnumber changes, but I also want the description to change to the same.

Thanks in advance

You could try something like this: If you run this rule it will find the part after the _ and add/exchange it with the part after the _ in the description.

Dim partnumber As String = iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number")
Dim parts = partnumber.Split("_")
Dim lastPart = parts(parts.Count() -1)

Dim oldDescription As String = iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")
Dim descriptionParts = oldDescription.Split("_")
Dim descriptionFirstPart = descriptionParts(0)

Dim newDescription = String.Format("{0}_{1}",descriptionFirstPart,lastPart) 
iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = newDescription

You could run this rule on save or something like that.

I only have one small issue.

I have trickered it to run after save.

When I save an assembly it puts "_" after all files. 

Is it possible to change the code, so if there's no "_" after the file, it should be left as it is?

Again thank you 😊
