group ref des to reduce line

Philippe LC

Hi

In a skill program I want to group ref des to reduce the length of the line

example :

R101,R102,R103,R104,R110,R117,R122,R123,R128,R129,R133,R134,R135,R148,R168,R169,R170,R171,R172,R183 t->  R101-R104,R110,R117,R122,R123,R128,R129,R133-R135,R148,R168-R172,R183

is there a function ? 

Any idea ?

Thanks for your answer

    Hi Phillippe,

    Try this function. It won't handle all possible reference designators but should be a good starting point.

    defun( DE_CompactRefdesList (refdesList)
    let((prefixList, pRefdesList, n1, suffix1, tempList, sortedRefdesList, suffix2, n2, fullList)
    rexCompile("[0-9]")
    prefixList = sort(unique(mapcar(lambda((refdes), car(parseString(rexReplace(refdes, " ", 0))) || ""), refdesList)), 'alphalessp)
    foreach(prefix, prefixList
    rexCompile("[0-9]")
    pRefdesList = setof(refdes, refdesList, (car(parseString(rexReplace(refdes, " ", 0))) || "") == prefix)
    n1 = suffix1 = tempList = nil
    sortedRefdesList = sort(pRefdesList, lambda((str1, str2), minusp(alphaNumCmp(str1, str2))))
    ;rexCompile("[A-Za-z]")
    foreach(refdes, sortedRefdesList
    rexCompile("[0-9]")
    suffix2 = cadr(parseString(rexReplace(refdes, " ", 0)))
    rexCompile("[A-Za-z]")
    n2 = readstring(rexReplace(refdes, "", 0))
    if(!n1 || onep(n2 - n1) && suffix2 == suffix1 then
    tempList = cons(refdes, tempList)
    when(refdes == lastelem(sortedRefdesList)
    fullList = cons(caseq(length(tempList), (1, refdes), (2,strcat(lastelem(tempList), ",", car(tempList))), (t, strcat(lastelem(tempList), "-", car(tempList)))), fullList)
    )
    else
    fullList = cons(caseq(length(tempList), (1, car(tempList)), (2, strcat(lastelem(tempList), ",", car(tempList))), (t, strcat(lastelem(tempList), "-", car(tempList)))), fullList)
    when(refdes == lastelem(sortedRefdesList), fullList = cons(refdes, fullList))
    tempList = list(refdes)
    )
    n1 = n2
    suffix1 = suffix2
    )
    )
    buildString(reverse(fullList), ",")
    ))

    Hi

    Thanks for the answer and sorry for the long time but i was on holidays.

    to test your function i add an put  this in a file "concat.il" :

    axlCmdRegister( "Compact" `DE_CompactRefdesList)

    prerefdesList = "D100,D101,D102,D103,D104,D105,D106,D107,D108,D109,D110,D111,D15,D16,D17,D18,D19,D20,D21,D22,D23,D24,D25,D26,D27,D28,D29,D30,D31,D32,D33,D34,D39,D40,D41,D42,D43"
    refdesList = parseString( prerefdesList ",")

    and your code

    .defun( DE_CompactRefdesList (refdesList)

    .

    .

    .buildString(reverse(fullList), ",")
    ))

    and when i try i have this error.

    Skill > DE_CompactRefdesList (refdesList)

    E- *Error* eval: undefined function - refdesList

    ERROR

    Remove the space character. The command should be:

    DE_CompactRefdesList(refdesList)
