I'm wanting to take a value which has been captured.. like MyBigWordHere as u can see below.. and have it return just the first letter of the value, "M"

Can someone tel me how to do this?

Below is a script I found which returns the last 8 characters but I cant figure out how to switch it around to be first character

Code: Select all

Let>line=MyBigWordHere

///(assuming the line is in variable "line") 
Length>line,len
Sub>len,7
Midstr>line,%len%,8,LastEight

MDL>LastEight

The program Help will show you the syntax for commands, also the syntax automatically shows at the bottom of the editor window when you type. For MidStr> the syntax is:

MidStr>string,start,length,resultvariable

so you need

Let>line=MyBigWordHere
MidStr>line,1,1,firstchar
MDL>firstchar
