Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

poIdOrName
  ID or name of variable for which to search

poValue
  Value or regular expression for which to search (see Remarks)

# Syntax

Visual Basic |
--- | ---

    Sub AddVariable2( _
       ByRef poIdOrName As System.Object, _
       ByRef poValue As System.Object, _
       Optional ByVal lEdmVarOp As System.Integer _
    )

C# |
--- | ---

    void AddVariable2(
       ref System.object poIdOrName,
       ref System.object poValue,
       System.int lEdmVarOp
    )

C++/CLI |
--- | ---

    void AddVariable2(
    &   System.Object^% poIdOrName,
    &   System.Object^% poValue,
    &   System.int lEdmVarOp
    )

#### Parameters

poIdOrName
  ID or name of variable for which to search
poValue
  Value or regular expression for which to search (see Remarks)
lEdmVarOp
  Operator to apply to poValue as defined in EdmVarOp (see Remarks)

# Example

See the IEdmSearch8 and IEdmSearch9 examples.

# Remarks

If the search object:

- is IEdmSearch5, then:
  - before calling this method, call IEdmSearch8::BeginAND or IEdmSearch8::BeginOR to construct more complicated search criteria.
  - poValue may contain wildcards:

> - % - any number of arbitrary characters
> - _ - exactly one arbitrary character

- is created using IEdmVault21::CreateSearch2 (IEdmSearch9), then poValue follows basic syntax (single-value search logic rules. See Search Syntax.) lEdmVarOp must be Nothing or null.

The number of times you could call this method was limited to 4 in SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Version 6.0 and earlier. This restriction was removed in Version 6.1.

Return codes:

- S_OK: The method successfully executed.
- E_EDM_KEY_NOT_FOUND: The variable name was not recognized.
