Is there an easy way to pull values from the jobNameProper with separators in this format?
Essentially I need a way to capture the first, second, third, and fourth value separated by an underscore.

You'll probably need a regular expression; I don't think the string manipulation for variables is strong enough.
Do you have the scripting module? If so, you can use this:
Code: Select all
var theRegex = /(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_(.*)_.*/;
theRegex.search( job.getNameProper() );
var theCompleteMatch = theRegex.cap(0);
var thePlateID = theRegex.cap(1);
//...

Thanks man. Exactly what I was looking for. I have an e-book on regex I have had for a while now. Maybe it's time to finally read it.
