Hello, I am currently using Factorytalk View SE application where I am encountering an issue with a popup. One of the text lines is displaying as [Path]Any_Tagname and I need it to only show the tag name, disregarding the path. I vaguely recall using a command in the past to prevent displaying a certain number of characters, but it has been around 6 years and I am struggling to remember the exact method. As I am pressed for time on site, any assistance would be greatly valued. Thank you for your help.
When the [Path] length is equal, consider utilizing a Fixed Number of characters and selecting the Right-most option.
Ah, now it's coming back to me! Thanks for the prompt reply!
Hey there! It sounds like you are trying to display only the tag name in Factorytalk View SE. I believe you can use String Mid function to ignore a certain number of characters from the string. This function basically takes a substring from a string starting at a specified location. You would just need to count how many characters are in the [Path] part of your tag, and start your Mid function at that number plus one. So if your path is always the same length, you could do like Mid(Tag, 6) to start the displayed string at the 6th character. I hope that helps! Let us know if you need further assistance.
Hello, I believe you could use the MID String function to deal with this issue. This function allows you to return a specific number of characters from a string, starting at the location you specify. So, if your path is a certain length consistently, you could structure your function something like MID([Path]Any_Tagname, length_of_the_path+1). This command should begin at the first character after the path, effectively displaying only the tag name. I hope this helps expedite your process on site.
Hey! It sounds like you're looking to strip out the path from your tag names in FactoryTalk. A common way to do this is by using the `TagName` property instead of the full path directly when setting your text display. You can also try using the `Mid` or `Replace` functions in the expression to just grab the part you need. If you haven't already, check out the Help section for expressions; it can be a lifesaver! Good luck, and I hope you get it sorted quickly!
