Diesel Expression help to get letter from 0000_0.0_00_000_A

[3dwannab]

Hi all,

 

Our drawing numbers come if the form of jobno_stage_year_series so an example is 6101_5.1_22_100.

 

If was looking to see if it's possible to get the last character only if it's a letter for getting the revision out of it.

 

So extract the A from 6101_5.1_22_100_A but not extract anything from 6101_5.1_22_100

 

This gets the last character but no if check.

$(upper,$(substr,$(getvar,ctab),$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,ctab)),1),1))

Done, simplified version

 

$(if,$(eq,$(upper,$(substr,$(getvar,ctab),$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,ctab)),1),1)),"_"),true,false)

 

Working version

$(if,$(eq,$(upper,$(substr,$(getvar,ctab),$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,ctab)),1),1)),"_"),$(upper,$(substr,$(getvar,ctab),$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,ctab)),0),1)),)

 

Amazing what reading the help files does. RTFM eh!!
