adding tags to group addresses that have no tag - asgeirsb - 07.06.2022

Hi,

I've made a little script that searches for a string on addresses with the tags 'CL'. Then I replace a string with another and and want to add 'AUTO' tag to those adresses that have no tags from before. addresses with RT_MODE has the tag 'CL' and addresses with LL_COLORVAL does not have any tag

The script works, but not allways. So if theres alot of addresses that doesn't have a tag like 70-90% of them gets the tag. Can anyone see through my script and see if its any issues with it?

Code:
myobjects = grp.tag('CL')

--log(myobjects[1])

for index, value in pairs(myobjects) do

  if string.find(value.name, 'RT_MODE') then

    b = string.gsub(value.name, "RT_MODE", "LL_COLORVAL")

    x = grp.find(b)

    if x.tagcache == '' then grp.addtags(b, 'AUTO') end    

  end

end

Check Error logs. If x object cannot be found you will get an error. I would change it like this:

Code:
if x and not string.find(x.tagcache or '', 'AUTO') then

  grp.addtags(b, 'AUTO')

end
