I have a polygon shapefile of land units with dozens of attributes. I use multiple attributes to label each land unit. One attribute has three possible values: "Y", "N", or " " (not NULL).
If possible, in a single label string, I would like to replace the "Y" and the "N" with different text. For example:
"Y" = "HIGH"
"N" = "LOW"
I have been able to replace one or the other successfully using a variety of different VBScripts such as this one:
Function FindLabel ([TYPECD] )
FindLabel = Replace([TYPECD],"Y","HIGH") & Replace([TYPECD],"N","LOW")
End Function
However, the result is a label that has BOTH values in it. Example: " HIGH Y" or "N LOW"
Is there a way to nest REPLACE within itself so that it replaces both "Y" and "N"?
Alternately, is there a way have one string ignore all other content besides the value I am replacing? For example, if I do HIGHStr = Replace([TYPECD],"Y","HIGH") and ignore everything else
LOWStr = Replace([TYPECD],"N","LOW") and ignore everything else
Then I could just use FindLabel = HIGHStr & LOWStr
I know I could achieve this by defining classes of features and labeling them differently. However, I am trying to implement this labeling across many layers in many different maps, so loading a single expression would go much faster.
