Text Replacing - Limit radiotext character length
« on: December 17, 2021, 05:16:08 am »
Hi Jan,

How would I use Text Replacing to limit the number of characters sent in radiotext.
(ie: Truncate the string at say 30 characters max.)
I've tried various %REGEX%, but not been successful so far.

Something like...
Change: %REGEX%.{0,30}.+
To: (blank)

thanks, Rod

Jan

A new command has been added to the Text replace in version 4.0.34:

%MATCHEDSTR%

Example of use (limit the text length to 30 characters):

Change
%REGEXP%^.{0,30}

To
%CLEAR%%MATCHEDSTR%

Thanks Jan,

The Text Replacing '%CLEAR%%MATCHEDSTR%' for text truncation that you've just implemented worked perfectly.

cheers, Rod
