I have some experience with Lisp but new to VBA for Acad. Can someone point me in the right direction to the String sub function?? or help me with this??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to extract 3 different variable strings based on one large string such as:
"2013_ARCH-Lev01.dwg" <or "2014_STRC-Lev00-BM">
and the 3 variables are:
Dim YEAR As String
Dim TRADE As String
Dim LEVEL As String
YEAR = 2013 <or 2014>
TRADE = ARCH <or STRC>
LEVEL = 01 <or 00-BM>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the best ways to do this / how do you do this?
I was thinking of using the first four digits "(0,1,2,3)" for YEAR??
using the next four digits following the underscore "_(0,1,2,3)" for TRADE??
and using the rest of the digits following the dash "-(unknown)" for LEVEL??
Like i said I'm new to this and am looking for guidence on how to do this and better ways to do this.. thanks
