Loop in reverse order.

I'm trying to write a DXL script to search a string containing the Object Number attribute in the objects of a module and replace this string by the Object Identifier.

I use the loop:

for obj in all current Module do {

But with this loop the "Object Number" 1.1.1 is found and replaced in the string 1.1.1.2, so when I try to find the string 1.1.1.2 I'm not able to find it.

Can anyone help me to rewrite the loop to go in the reverse order? Thank you in advance.

I guess instead of blindly replacing the object number in your attribute, you could first extract the full object number in that attribute and then compare it to the one you are searching for. You can use a regular expression for that. Note that in DOORS object numbers can also contain '-' for text objects or childs of them.
 

string sSearch = "1.1.1"
string theAttribute = "myAttributeName"
Regexp reNumber = regexp "[-.0-9]+"
 
Object o 
for o in all current Module do {
   string s = o.theAttribute
   if (reNumber s) {
       string sFound = s[match 0]
       print "Found number: " sFound "\n"
       if (sSearch == sFound) { 
             // replace here
       }
   }
}

Maybe that helps, regards, Mathias
