How to remove the suffix of the textDisplay of all multipliers generated from schematic

DesmondLiu

Hi experts,

    I've tried to remove the suffix of  the textDisplay of all multipliers generated from schematic, 

e.g. a device M1 with M=4 the textDisplay shown on layout will be M1.1, M1.2, M1.3 & M1.4.

How do I remove the .* to make all of them M1, M1, M1 & M1?

    I tried to use rexReplace, but it can't recognize theLabel as a string. Is there any suggestion to do this?

Thanks.

    foreach(mapcar label list("M1.1" "M1.2" "M1.3" "M1.4") car(parseString(label ".")))
    ;=> ("M1" "M1" "M1" "M1")

    The text on a textDisplay object is stored in the attribute 'text. textDispId~>text should return the string.

    If td is the variable containing the textDisplay object, you can find the value it shows by looking at:

    dbGet(td~>owner td~>text)

    Not entirely sure what you're trying to do here, but hopefully this will help!

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi ebecheto,

        Thank you this is exactly what I need. I was trapped in doing this by regExp and I'm not so good at it.

    Wish you a good day.

    Thanks also Ted & Andrew, I'm still confused what's the difference between label & textDisplay.
  • Andrew Beckett

    A textDisplay simply tells the tools to display the value of a named attribute on an associated object - so if that attribute changes, the textDisplay will too. A label is a fixed piece of text with no association to another object (it can be attached, but it's not directly linked with the value of that other object).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
