hgtrans control AddLabelAliasRule
Sets an aliasing rule for channel labels.
Syntax
hgtrans control AddLabelAliasRule pattern, replacement, subcase, datatype, level
Application
HyperGraphTrans Tcl Set
Description
This command sets an aliasing rule for channel labels. The labels at the specified level (“datatype”, “request”, or “component”) are altered by replacing the text matching pattern with the string replacement. The subcase and datatype fields limit replacement to labels within a specific scope (for example, all requests in the “Displacement” datatype).
Inputs
- pattern
- A pattern of characters to be matched. The pattern can contain two different wildcard characters. An “*” (asterisk) will match any substring, whereas a “?” (question mark) will match any single character.
- replacement
- A string of characters to be substituted for the pattern if it exists in the label.
- subcase
- The name of the subcase in which to apply the rule.
- datatype
- The name of the datatype in which to apply the rule. (Does not apply if the level is “subcase”.)
- level
- The level of labels at which to apply the rule.
- datatype
- request
- component
Example
Cause hgtrans to read everything from a MADYMO file
called “displacement.dat” and save it to
“displacement.abf”, changing the word “head” in all request names to
its Spanish equivalent “cabeza”
.
hgtrans control SetFile "displacement.dat"
hgtrans control SetOutputFile "displacement.abf"
hgtrans config SetAllChannelsSelected
hgtrans control AddLabelAliasRule "head" "cabeza" "Subcase 1" "Displacement" request
