Subject string difficulty
Author checkmail

Hello @ll,

 

I have an input string ABCDEFG, filled with * to 16 chars, ABCDEFG*********, followed with zwo digits, f. e. 01

ABCDEFG*********01

01 can I cut for an other function, now I have ABCDEFG*********

The filled * I can delete for my real ID (ABCDEFG)

left(:str,  position('*' in :str)-1));

 

It works find, but there are IDs available with * in the middle of the ID L For example ABC*DEFG and I receive this: ABC*DEFG********01

In this case the function will return ABC

 

How can I get ABC*DEFG, leave the * between C*D, delete all * from right?

 

Thank you.

 

Best regards
