Split Filename

Split Filename

Split Filename

(OP)
Sorry if this is a double post, can't find my original one.

We use our file-names to store part-numbers.

example "[xx_xx_xx_xx] name"

I'm trying to separate [xx_etc.] from the file-name for my sheet and BOM.

To get the file-name we use this line of code: $PRP:"SW-File Name(File Name)"

The next step would be to use excel to filter out [xx_etc.] part or split it somehow. I don't know how to do this.

Kind regards,

Koen

RE: Split Filename

Do you have any familiarity at all with VBA?  You can embed VBA code in an equation to do this.  The equation can be stored in the part template.  I can't remember if it was here or the SW forum, but I've posted a very similar equation before to load a custom property with part of the filename.
