classification with regex?

Hi,

can I use REGEX for Solibri Classifications as well or doesn’t regex-Code work in classifications actually?

best Regards, Matteo

Regex is not supported in Classification.

The only wild chars supported are: * and ?

• “?” is a single any character
• “*” is 0-N any characters

We are currently developing a new feature that could solve your problem.
Could you describe in detail what is your goal?

sure, we are working a lot with code systems in our projects.
it’s a system which describes objects in a code of 4 blocks
first for the ifcClass, second for interior/exterior, third for an internal object-classification (which mainly depends on the type of ifcClass), fourth is the material.
Sure, we can build classifications with more lines, but maybe regex could keep classifiation-systems shorter and more efficient, I think.

This plus with regex one could e.g. also define what is not allowed. Something which is currently not so easy to achieve.
