Command Result
[First({N},{FieldName})] Takes {N} letters from the beginning of {FieldName}
[Last({N},{FieldName})] Takes {N} letters from the end of {FieldName}
[{FieldName}] Takes the entire value of {FieldName}
{anyvalue] Literal Values – Any text not surrounded by [ ] is passed along without being processed.
[PadLeft({N},{C})] Pads the end result to ensure it is {N} characters long. Fills any empty space with {C} to the left side. (note: it applies to the current length of the string, so best to use at the end in normal situations)
[FirstOfWords({N},{FieldName},{NWords})] Takes {N} letters from each word found in {FieldName} but only process up to {NWords}. (if only 1 word is found, it falls back to doing a First with {N}x{NWords}. (the goal being to have a meaningful length))
Additional Commmands
[PadRight({N},{C})] Pads the end result to ensure it is {N} characters long. Fills any empty space with {C} to the right side. (note: it applies to the current length of the string, so best to use at the end in normal situations)
[Upper()] Converts current result to upper case. (note: it applies to the current length of the string, so best to use at the end in normal situations)
[Lower()] Converts current result to lower case. (note: it applies to the current length of the string, so best to use at the end in normal situations)
[Proper()] Converts current result to proper casing. “this” becomes “This” and “THIS” becomes “This”. (note: it applies to the current length of the string, so best to use at the end in normal situations)
