Can't get TRIM_LEFT to work
« on: January 27, 2010, 03:31:16 am »
Hi,

probably something obvious, but I can't get the TRIM_LEFT function to drop the first 3 characters from an attribute name string. I'm using the following code:
 $shortName=%TRIM_LEFT(attName,3)%
Can anyone help?

Maybe try using %MID(attName, 3)% instead.  Does that help?

Thanks,

should have spotted that the macro wasn't being recognised in the editor
