Help with hatch text expression for mileage

MarcSommer

Hello,

I´m working with ArcGIS v10. I would like to have a route with hatch text expressions like this: 50+500 km.
Creating a route and displaying the "standard" milage e.g. for a river like "20,5" is done, but I don´t know the right Phyton-code to label the hatches like written above.

I startet trying with this:

Function FindLabel ( esri__measure )
  FindLabel = esri__measure/1000
End Function

The results is a milage in km, but I don´t know to ad a "+" and every half kilometer a "500" or a "0".

Thanks for any help!

Actually, I didn't choose any parser.
The syntax is VBScript, but when I select VBScript parser it doesn't work indeed. (It seem that esri__measure works only when no parser is selected)

To unselect parser unclick 'Advanced' and click it again.

One more note to this script: it works in this form if esri__measure is in meter and hatch interval is 500 m.
