How can I remove from string the four first characters? iMacros


How can I remove from string the four first characters with iMacros. I know it something with EVAL function but don't know how to write it. TY


Solution

  • I know nothing of iMacros, but a quick look at the docs suggests

    SET !SHORTENEDSTRING = EVAL("\"{{!EXTRACT}}\".substr(4)")
    

    The \" escapes the double-quote characters inside the string. {{!EXTRACT}} is for what was extracted by a previous iMacros statement. The .substr(4) is a JavaScript function: MDN substr documentation, and remember that it uses a zero-based index.
