Text favorites with an expression

Question

Hello everyone, 
 I would like to know if there is a possibility to use expression (mathematical or others) in text favorites ? 
 For example, I have an element nam AA_133 and I only want 133 . 
 Or if I have a station 20 and I would like to do some calculation 20/1=1 
 
 Best regards, 
 YoussefB

Hi Youssef, 
 You cannot use expressions directly in Text Favorites, but what you can do is define Item Types that will store the value, and then use a Text Favorite to fetch this Item Type. 
 In sample file I created a ItemType called Short_Name that will return "133" from "AA__133". 
 Note : I had issues in French version when checking this just now, so I would advise to switch to EN language before creating Item Types / Text Favorites.
