https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-use-the-name-of-the-output-when-using-the/m-p/1662220#M99858 <P>I have the same question. I don't always want the output file names to be exactly the same as the batch input files. Maybe I would like the output file names to be only the first n characters of the %Name% value, or maybe I would like to remove some specific characters from the %Name% value. I would love to find a way to do this!</P> Thu, 30 Oct 2025 15:02:05 GMT MatthewLeonard 2025-10-30T15:02:05Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-use-the-name-of-the-output-when-using-the/m-p/1265378#M66367 <P>Hello,</P><P>I'm not sure if it's appropriate to write a post like this in this community, but I wanted to write a few words and ask for your advice.</P><P>I am a student in Korea who uses ArcPro. I want to use various input values ​​using Batch to use the tool. When I specify the output file name as %name%, I want to bring only a part of the input value.</P><P>I tried to find a solution to this issue when using the model builder in ArcMap or QGIS, but I have no idea. However, I recently started using ArcPro, and the output file name is automatically set to %name%. Therefore, I thought it was a problem that I must solve. That's why I'm writing this post.</P><P>In the past, when using %name% according to the work order, the final result was processed as 5_4_3_2_1_%name%.shp. This makes the file name too long and confusing for me. Do you have any suggestions or tips on how to solve this issue?</P><P>Also, although my English is not good, I am looking for a community where I can get advice on various GIS-related research. Do you have any recommendations?</P><P>I want to try adding various tools and learn about other people's analyses and have conversations. In Korea, it seems that related sites are lacking.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>After searching through chatGPT, it is said that this can be solved with parse path. Is this only possible when using the model builder?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="minseok_1-1678274356179.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64666iA7D33C2F980D17E0/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="minseok_1-1678274356179.png" alt="minseok_1-1678274356179.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:19:27 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-use-the-name-of-the-output-when-using-the/m-p/1265378#M66367 1113 2023-03-08T11:19:27Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-use-the-name-of-the-output-when-using-the/m-p/1662220#M99858 <P>I have the same question.
