Hi all.
Hope everybody is doing well.
Here is my quandry...
I receive room number/room names from the architects that need to be merged into my design application (InDesign, Flexi Design).
These lists typically are all over the place as far as sequential numbering goes.
And many times there are over 1000 rows in the list.
Here is a quick example...
10000 STORAGE
10001 SOILED/ DECONTAM WORK AREA
9999 WORK AREA
8888 STORAGE
6987 ELEVATOR CONTROL ROOM
12000 STERILE STORAGE
12000A BREAKDOWN
12000B STERILE STORAGE
6987B STERILE STORAGE
6987A PREP AND PACK
6987C PREP AND PACK
8880 PREP AND PACK
15000 PREP AND PACK
10000B STORAGE
10001C WORK AREA
How would I sort the list to keep any value with a suffix (1000A ,1000B, 1000C etc) in sequential order?
Here is the result after sorting low to high, which does not help me much.
6987 ELEVATOR CONTROL ROOM
8880 PREP AND PACK
8888 STORAGE
9999 WORK AREA
10000 STORAGE
10001 SOILED/ DECONTAM WORK AREA
12000 STERILE STORAGE
15000 PREP AND PACK
10000B STORAGE
10001C WORK AREA
12000A BREAKDOWN
12000B STERILE STORAGE
6987A PREP AND PACK
6987B STERILE STORAGE
6987C PREP AND PACK
I also am looking for a macro to insert line breaks after the words in the room names based on how wide my sign is...
We use 6", 9" & 12" signs.
Please see attached for more detailed info.
Thanks for your assistance!
