Pattern expansion

Techniques
1

Hi,

[ab][1-2] expands to
a1
a2
b1
b2

Now I expected

[alpha bravo][1-2] expanding to
alpha1
alpha2
bravo1
bravo2

but my syntax is obviously wrong. Is there a simple way to achieve the desired naming?

You would have to use alpha[1-3] bravo[1-3]. If the first part is in brackets then it attempts to expand as characters.

alpha[1-3] bravo[1-3] works in places like the Constant CHOP channel name definition to create channels with the following names.
alpha1
alpha2
alpha3
bravo1
bravo2
bravo3

Ok thanks. And how would the notation be for:
Alpha1
Bravo1
Charlie1
Alpha2
Bravo2
Charlie2
…
?

I don’t know how to do that in a pattern. However, if this is for CHOP channels, its really easy to do using the Reorder CHOP.
