Hi everybody,

I think it's a simple problem, I would like to remove two characters in a string with ilogic.

I have this parameters :

And I would like to supress the ":1" in all theses parameters. If someone have the solution 🙂

Could you share the ipt file

Hi, I can't because it's too big.

But i'am in an .iam and I find the names of my ipt with 

Form_name_viro = oAsmCompDef.Occurrences.Item(1).Name 'Virole

And the result of these names are the parameters updisdes 🙂

Here is an example of a simple way to 'split' assembly component names into two parts, to get just the part before the colon (:) symbol.  When you use the 'Split' tool on a string, then specify what character to use as the splitting tool, it will return an array of Strings representing that original String split into multiple parts, determined by the splitting tool you specified.  Then I am just using (0) after that, to get the first item within that array of Strings, because array's are zero based, which means the first item index is zero, not one.

Dim sCompName As String = "Part1:1"
Dim sBeforeColon As String = sCompName.Split(":")(0)
Dim sAfterColon As String = sCompName.Split(":")(1)
MsgBox("sBeforeColon = " & sBeforeColon & vbCrLf & _
"sAfterColon = " & sAfterColon, vbInformation, "Split Component Name")

Hi @jgomis.ext 

You could use the Trim function for this.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Dim TestString As String = "Long_Part_Name_Example:1"

TestString = TestString.Trim(CChar(":")).Remove(TestString.Length - 2)

MsgBox(TestString,,"iLogic")
