File Name Variables
TerraScan includes a number of commands that write output files, for example, for point clouds or for vector data derived from point clouds. In order to write separate files with specific names, there are different variables that can be used in the output file name definition. The variables are always introduced with a # followed by the variable name.
Possible variables are:
•#bnumber - block number.
•#block - block name or block binary file name without extension.
•#bpath - path of the block binary file. This includes the binary file name and its extension.
•#bemin - minimum easting value of block boundary vertices.
•#bnmin - minimum northing value of block boundary vertices.
•#bemax - maximum easting value of block boundary vertices.
•#bnmax - maximum northing value of block boundary vertices.
•#pdir - path of the storage directory of the block binary file. This does not include the name of the binary file.
•#name - active file name. Use this to replace the file name component when running a macro on selected files.
•#line - line number stored for a point. Use this variable with the Output by line action in order to store one file for each line.
