Hello,

I am trying to define a series of strings extracted from graph names, in order to move those graphs to their corresponding folders.

An example of a graph name is: [b]gdH1p5z650C[/b]

I want to check for the left and right parts of the name; one will define the parent folder, and the other will define the child folder to move to.

[code][brown]string gName$ = page.name$;
string FvarDSC$="ZnO-Temp-Var DSC";
string gFol1$; 
string gFol2$;
string gFol$="/%(gFol1$)/%(gFol2$)"; [blue]//Parent/child folder path[/blue]

if (Left(gname$,3)$ == "gdH") 	gFol1$ = "DSC";
if (Right(gName$,1)$ == "C")	gFol2$=%(FvarDSC$);[/brown][/code]
I tried to use pe_move command, but an error popped up stating that the graph couldn't be moved to "//". Apparently, it is not reading the strings correctly for gFol$.

The results I obtained in my test is:[code]
[brown]gFol1$=; 
gFol2$=;
gFol$=;

DSC
ZnO-Temp-Var DSC
//[/brown]
[/code]
However, this changes the active folder correctly:[code]
[brown]//From any folder
pe_cd path:=gFol$;[/brown][/code]
I have used [code][brown]pe_move path="/%(string$)"[/brown][/code] successfully in previous ocassions.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Clairekun	Posted - 06/17/2022 : 7:06:09 PM I moved it right before defining gFol1$ and gFol2$, and it worked. Thanks for the advice, that solution would nave never even crossed my mind. Why, though? I would think that it's necessary to define all components contained in a string such as gFol$ beforehand. EDIT: Encountered another error when applying the command pe_move. While the strings alone seemed to work if gFol$ was placed before the others, pe_move generated the error: Undefined Variable gFol1$, so I assumed gFol1$ and gFol2$ would still need to be defined before gFol$. What I did was define string gFol$ right before pe_move; that is, after gFol1$, gFol2$ and all conditions. This is what finally worked.
YimingChen	Posted - 06/17/2022 : 08:45:06 AM Do you need to move the line string gFol$="/%(gFol1$)/%(gFol2$)"; to the end after gFol1$ and gFol2$ are assigned? James
