Tag mass edit

[Novodk]

Hi
I'm trying to organize my Objects a bit with giving them tags I can use in scripting or just to filter what I need to see.
All my objects in building "small" is called "Small - Living Room - Light 1 On/Off" I want to give that Object 4 tags (Small, Living Room, Light 1, On/Off).

If I use the Object filter and type "Small" and then Mass edit > Object properties > Field list >  Tags and type in "Small" it works.
But if I then use the Object filter again and type in "Living Room" and click Mass edit >  Object properties > Field list >  Tags, then there is no text and if I write "Living Room" and click "Save" then it deletes everything but the new tag "Living Room".

Some years ago I made this script, now would do it differently but still  will work.

Code:

1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950515253545556575859606162

seperators = '.,_ =+' -- Start address of objects (min: 0/0/1 = main/sub/address) start_main = 0 start_sub = 0 start_address = 1 -- End address of objects (max: 31/7/255 = main/sub/address) end_main = 15 end_sub = 7 end_address = 255 ------------------------------------------ End Parameters ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING UNDER THIS LINE ------------------------------- function split(source, delimiters)         local elements = {}         local pattern = '([^'..delimiters..']+)'         string.gsub(source, pattern, function(value) elements[#elements + 1] =     value;  end);         return elements end -- Calculate start address to DB format start_objectaddress = ((start_main * 2048) + (start_sub * 256) + start_address) -- Calculate end address to DB format end_objectaddress = ((end_main * 2048) + (end_sub * 256) + end_address) -- Get all objects from DB all_objects = db:getall('SELECT address, name, tagcache FROM objects') for _, object in ipairs(all_objects) do   -- Check if object is inside given range   if object.address >= start_objectaddress and object.address <= end_objectaddress then      currentrowaddress = object.address     myobject = grp.find(currentrowaddress)     nameTable = split(myobject.name, seperators)  --spliting  object string in to table       --  log(nameTable)     for _, tag in ipairs(nameTable) do       tagvalue = tag            -- Check if object tag already exists inside DB      current_object_tag = db:getall('SELECT object, tag FROM objecttags WHERE object = ' .. currentrowaddress .. ' AND tag = "' .. tagvalue .. '"')      object_tagcache = db:getone('SELECT tagcache FROM objects WHERE address = ' .. currentrowaddress .. '')      if #current_object_tag == 0 then         -- Add object to table objecttags         db:insert('objecttags', {object = currentrowaddress, tag = tagvalue, })           -- Check if object already has other tag values inside DB and add new values to tagcache         if object_tagcache == nil or object_tagcache == "" then           db:update('objects', { tagcache = tagvalue }, { address = currentrowaddress })             else           tag_string = "" .. object_tagcache .. ", " .. tagvalue .. ""                log(tag_string)           db:update('objects', { tagcache = tag_string }, { address = currentrowaddress })           end      end         end   end end script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

Thanks alot, do I just add it to the common functions?

No, you run this script once as a script, can be resident. Based on used separators it will auto generate tags from the object name.

Thanks, it works
