DIESEL Field for modified filename

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am trying to create an AutoCAD field that can extract the file name (without path name and file extension), and then also to modify it slightly replacing underscore with forward slash.  For example below:

XXX_XXX_XXXXX_XXXX_XXX.DWG

to

XXX/XXX/XXXXX/XXXX/XXX

How would I go about making a DIESEL field expression to do the above?

Thanks lots for the the hlep!

Hi andy.tung,

DIESEL functions are quite limited, and probably it will not be possible to replace all underscores with forward slashes...

For the file name, perhaps something like this to do the trick

$(substr,$(getvar, "dwgname"),1,$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar, "dwgname")),4))

Hope this helps,
Henrique

Try this.

$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),1, 3)$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),4, 1),_),/)$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),5, 3)$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),8, 1),_),/)$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),9, 5)$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),14, 1),_),/)$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),15, 4)$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),19,1),_),/)$(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),20, 3)

Thanks mostafabadran

That bit of code is almost working, just gotta delete the extension "dwg"
