Several options:

1. jlink

or

2. weblink

or

3. relations
    ie
    Assuming you have filename = 12345-xy and you want partno = 12345xy
    beforeDash = extract(rel_model_name(), 1, search(rel_model_name(), "-") - 1)
    afterDash = extract(rel_model_name(), search(rel_model_name(), "-") + 1, string_length(rel_model_name()) - search(rel_model_name(), "-")
    partno = beforeDash + afterDash
