Hi all, I've created a very simple 'select' model (attached). The user types in a value and the model searches for all of the data within a field that equals that value, it selects those records, and then outputs a shapefile from the selected records.
How do I write my model so that the value the user types in is used as the name of my output shapefile? (I've tried using in line variable substitution but this doesn't appear to work).
Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers, Damian

Hello Damian,
if the variable Common Name is the place where the user provides input, then you use %Common Name% as part of Select's output name, like so: C:\workspace\%Common Name%.shp. Note that the user entered string cannot have any spaces.
