Custom Property File

[davdelomb]

Hello,

I have a question about creating a custom property.

I want to create a property named: "MaxCode" (associations: File).

For the value of the property i want to get a part of the folder path where there drawing is located.

Like this:

Folder path: $/Drawings/_Demo/DMO/DMO-010 Test Property

File Property: MaxCode : DMO

I want to get the value in red out of the folder path and put it in the property "MaxCode"

the position of the value that i want is always in third position.

Is there a way to do this in vault?

No. You would need to use C#, VB or similar and use the split string function.

string Folder_path: "$/Drawings/_Demo/DMO/DMO-010 Test Property"; // Variable to store the folder path
var get_third_occurrence = Folder_path.Split('/')[3]; // This will split the folder path by / and return the value to the right of the 3rd occurrence.

or Substring...

var str = "$/Drawings/_Demo/DMO/DMO-010 Test Property";

var char_to_split_by = str.IndexOf("/");
var get_third_occurrence = index < 0 ? str : str.Substring(3, char_to_split_by );

both of these examples will return:

DMO

I'm quite sure Vault doesn't have this functionality built-in to split a string (path) into parts...
