[SOLVED] Trim characters/text down?

[shabbysquire]

Hey all.

Is is possible to trim some text that's assigned to a variable?

I'm looking at word processing but can't find a way to trim some text down, i.e. from 100 characters to only 30.

Hi. For this action you may use regexp .{1,30}
This is regexp give you several elements in a range 1-30 simbols

This works ok if in action word processing > substring and i put: 0 - 170. It trims anything over 170 characters ok, but if a variable has, say, 150 characters, ZP comes up with an error: Failed to process text.

This has done the job. Thanks for the tip!

Is there a way to use C# for this like the following? I tried but it failed.

return project.Variables["yourVariableName"].Substring(0,Math.Min(30, project.Variables["yourVariableName"].Length))

 

[rostonix]

return project.Variables["yourVariableName"].Value.Substring(0,Math.Min(30, project.Variables["yourVariableName"].Value.Length)) ;

return project.Variables["yourVariableName"].Value.Substring(0,Math.Min(30, project.Variables["yourVariableName"].Value.Length)) ;

Yeah, thank you!
