Rewrite a full name reducing the first word

[romain.hetzel]

Hi guys,

I know that the solution of my problem is with the Regex, but I’m really a noob…
I have a full name (Firstname Lastname) with a space between them and I want to write F.Lastname instead of Firstname Lastname

How can I do it ?

Hi there, @romain.hetzel… I’m sure you can (should?) use Regex to do what you have described, but there is a way (and probably more than one way) to do it without Regex, and I didn’t think it could hurt to throw this suggestion out there for you.

Notice the period (which has to be manually entered) after :truncated to 1, and the :split by character is a space (which separates the first name from the last name and enables us to grab the last name by itself and put it after the period).

Hope this helps.

Best…
Mike
