String manipulation of placeholders?

Is it possible to do string manipulation of placeholders?

For example: I have a view property "ID: A1" which I use to fetch data from an element.

I would then need to use the first character, 'A', and the last character, '1', in a different format to fetch other data. Do I really need to define 3 properties on the view or is there a way for me to use something like "substring" on the result of a string placeholder?

Hello Robin,

There is a RegexReplace operation you can use on various kind of inputs.  This should work on properties as well. It allows you to match a certain substring (e.g. the first character or any substring you can get with regex) of your input and replace it with something else.  This way you could match e.g. the first character and replace it with an empty string which will result in the last character only:
[RegexReplace:^.,[property:NameOfTheProperty],]

Have a look at this section about RegexReplace in the help.

Is this what you are looking for?
