Pen Tables

May I set the length of "_FILE_" using a command like LEFT, RIGHT, MIDDLE ?, already used "_FILEA_" & "_FILEL_" in NOTEPAD, Thanks

  • Armando,

    What are you trying to do? Shorten or abbreviate the file name? I don't think there's anything built into the Pentable dialog that will let you do that. You could try Named Expressions - here's an example I have that prints the first 8 characters of the file name: System.String.Substring(System.Path.GetFileName(ActiveFile.FileName),0,8)
    VBA may also be an option or design scripts.
