SCRIPT RETURNING PART

[wescut]

Hello,

Is there a script that can return a Part's name from a product if I tell it the first few letters of its name?

example:

-return partName starting with "eng-t"
---> eng-tips.com

Thank you !

Wescut,

So you have a CATProduct loaded and you want a user to type in a search term and then select the part instance that matches that search term?

Not quite.

I am presently working on a script generating a BOM. When i run it it counts the parts entitled "gathered ..." as a seperate part. I need it to be able to recognize that this "part" is a re-used pattern.
More precisely I need a program that when run, recognizes that the partname starts with "gathered" and returns what is inside.

I hope this helps to clarify.

Thank you
