Hi Swamp Members,
I have a lisp routine that uses a simple dialogue box with one edit box for users to input a 4 or 5 character project number ex: 1234, 5688, P9328, P9585, etc..........and this is a line from the DCL file that defines the edit box : edit_box { label = "Enter Project Number :"; key = "PN"; edit_limit = 6; edit_width = 8;}
The lisp code that reads the edit box uses this line (action_tile "PN" "(setq Rnam $value)") then I use the Rnam variable in some other lines of code to attach an Xref file.
The problem I am now experiencing began because the company is changing the project numbering system as follows 13001.00, 13001.01, 13002.00, P13001.00, P13002.00, etc. and when I try to use the above code I get an error because the (action_tile "PN" "(setq Rnam $value)") line of code is having a problem with new numbering system 13001.00 more specifically handling the .00 or .01 etc. portion of the project number.
Is there a easy way to resolve this difficulty....?? Your assistance would be appreciated....!!
Regards,
Vince
