I AM HAVING A PROBLEM. I AM PUTTING IN A FIELD FOR THE FILE NAME. THE PROBLEM IS I ONLY WANT TO SHOW PART OF THE FILE NAME . I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE THE FILE EXTENSION. SO RIGHT NOW IT READS 2061-TS01 , BUT I ONLY WANT TO SHOW
TS-01. RIGHT NOW I AM USING WIPEOUT TO NOT SHOW THE FIRST PART OF THE FIELD . I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A CLEANER WAY OF DOING THIS

RIGHT NOW I HAVE THIS CODE

%<\AcVar Filename \f "%fn2">%,

BUT I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD ADD TO IT TO SAY MINUS HOW EVER MANY CHARACTERS IN THE BEGINNING OR ONLY SHOW A CERTAIN AMOUNT AT THE END

OK, there may be other ways to do it, but this works

%<\AcDiesel $(substr,$(getvar,dwgname),1, 4)>%

the last two numbers (the 1 & 4) determine where to start (character 1 of the name in this case) and how many characters to show (4 characters in this case).

Might work for you.
