How to specify the Name Variable in Search

[jzecha]

I would like to know how to specify the "Name=" variable in the search command.

This is the Code I got from recording my actions and typed in "Partbodyname"

I would like to change the "Partbodyname" to "myBodies.Item(i).Name" when I put this in another code, but I am unable to figure out how to get this to work.

Sub CATMain()

Dim partDocument1 As PartDocument
Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Dim selection1 As Selection
Set selection1 = partDocument1.Selection

selection1.Search "(Name=Partbodyname & CATPrtSearch.BodyFeature),all"

End Sub

first, make a string:

dim SearchString as String
SearchString="combine text_" & myBodies.Item(i).Name & "with variable names"
selection1.Search SearchString​

i.e the ampersand is used to concatinate strings, and "" are used to delimit your texts
