My favorite text editor is Notepad++, and yes it is capable of
regexp search.<br>
<br>
Simply do Ctrl-H (for search and replace), and search for regexp
pattern (using your example):<br>
^LIGHTING-SCHEDUL.*$<br>
and keep the "replace with" box blank.<br>
<br>
Don't forget to tick the regular expression box, and then click
replace all.<br>
<br>
The regular expression simply means:<br>
search for LIGHTING-SCHEDUL at the beginning of the line (the ^
sign), followed by any character (the dot) and multiple instances of
any character (the star sign) until the end of the line (the dollar
sign) and replace it with blank (which means delete).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Switch statements can be used with text.
You don’t have to use integers. I posted a step by step
example of how to assign lighting schedules with a switch
statement including screenshots and the example model at the
following link:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I use similar formulas to assign loads,
schedules, min flows, osa, etc. Also, as Robby mentioned, I
also get out of the wizard as soon as possible to streamline
the process. I only create the geometry in the wizard.
Everything thing else I can do faster in detailed edit mode.
Although it took a lot of effort to get to that point.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've never used switch because most of the
projects we work on have less than 10 or so space types. I
have not ran into a problem where my user expression had too
many characters. From what I understand of switch, you have
to use integers which would require you to have a
corresponding Space Type legend (i.e. 1 = Office, 2 =
Corridor, etc.). I prefer to be able to look at a space in
eQUEST and from the activity description know exactly what
it's supposed to be based on the name I've assigned it.<o:p></o:p></p>

Could you go over the basics of this
C-ACTIVITY-DESC? I stumbled upon this thread,
and it intrigued me, but I can't find what
you're talking about. Where is 'space
parameters'? Is this within the schematic of
DD Wizard, or in detailed mode? If you could
just get me pointed in the right direction,
I'm usually able to struggle through it and
learn on my own. <br>
