Hypermesh - selecting components with names containing a certain string

Andy@LamteqSolutions

Hi all,

Am trying to find a line of code which will select a component / assembly / set etc, when the name contains a certain string... for instance the assembly name may read 'apples-001001a' but I want a script to select that assembly if the name contains 'apples' as the number could change in the future.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andy

Below cmd could work:

*createmark comps 1 'contains value' name apples* 1

puts [hm_getmark comps 1]

What I would like to do is createmark elements by assembly name where assemblies contain the word Apples...

*createmark elements 1 'by assembly name' Apples

I've tried *createmark elements 1 'by assembly name' 'contains value' Apples* 1 but that's not it....

Any ideas?

This is it:

*createmark assems 1 'contains value' name Apples* 1

*createmark elems 1 'by assem id' {*}[hm_getmark assems 1]
