Set length of a variable

[Sturman]

Hi,
I am using this sequence to rename the file of a series of photos;
Day02 Japan 2024- {object} - {seqn}
The Object is the description I have given to each photo but some descriptions are quite long, which makes the new file name unwieldy. Is there a way to set the number of digits in the {object} so that the description is only, say 10 words long?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers, Malcolm

Malcom,

There is currently no way to limit the expansion of a variable by word count.  You can extract some number of letters, but I don't think that will give you the results you want.  To read more about what you can do with variables, please see:

Thanks Kirk,

I set up my Stream Deck to copy from the Object field down to the Headline field where I was then able to modify to the size I wanted. Then used the variable to copy this field into the new file name.
