String.Contains and text strings with '(' or ')'

1

I have some Civil 3d styles that have ‘(’ or ‘)’ in the name.

“(Ex) Desc Only”

The string contains does not recognize the above string as an acceptable string.

Is there a way to use an escape sequence to find this text string in Dynamo?

Let me clarify. When I try to set the labelstylename Dynamo fails when using the text string ‘(Ex)S Desc Only-PP’ but works when I set it to 'Standard’

What’s the actual error that you’re getting? Can you set that as the name through the UI?

I’ve done some testing and it seems that the issue is not about parenthesis.

Rather, the style I’m trying to access is a child style not a parent style. So long as the string is a parent style all works as expected. Is there a way for the ‘labelStyleName’ to access a child style? I’m using Civil 3d 2026.

The problem was: Dynamo in Civil 3d 2026 does not support setting setting ‘Child Styles’. The solution is corrected in Dynamo in Civil 3d 2027, where setting ‘Child Styles’ is now supported.
