Re: Substitute

The substitution is simply a text to text replacement. You cannot use wildcard or conditions.

What are you trying to achieve? maybe there is another solution?

Re: Substitute

Hi Serge!

In this case i want VCut to ignore Heidenhain tol.  and repl. with nothing .

  ex.     N1110 G62 T0.05 P01 0 P02 5.

  parametres after G62 can have a lot of diff. values .

Maybe there is a more clever solution for this instead of using substitute ?

Re: Substitute

Depending on what you want to acheive (Forgive my lack of understanding of the Heidenhain!) there are two possibilities.

@ It seems to to me that you could use the conditional field in your control:

E.g under the T word have a conditional that reads 'And Word G62' and then under that have an override value of T0

This could be repeated for any other parameters

@ Alternatively to ignore everything after the G62 you could substitute for G62 followed by a begin comment symbol:

E.g if ; is the symbol for begin comment:
Substitute G62 -> G62 ;

Thanks for your help!

Substitute  G62 ->  ;       
                                   works perfect

Re: Substitute

I personnaly don't like substitution, I use them as a last resort when there is no other way.

It works, don't get me wrong. But when I debug a control, I first look in the Word/Address to see how it is configured. The substitution bypass all that.

For your case, I suggest a different approach:

N1110 G62 T0.05 P01 0 P02 5.

In Word/Address, set T, P01 and P02 with a condition of G 62 to call the macro named IgnoreMacro. This macro does absolutly nothing but gives you the indication that it is voluntarely ignored.

IMO a cleaner solution.
