Variable Substring Extraction {persons}

[Jaap van der Pijll]

I have a question

Example, form my code replacement:
s4      #4 Jolyn Beerepoot (SEW)
v17    #17 Elise Aerts (Geonius/V&L)

(is sports clubname)
when I enter in persons shown \v17\; returns #17 Elise Aerts (Geonius/V&L)
Is there a substring for variable {persons} that I can only add the name '#17 Elise Aerts' in keywords too.

I don't think there is a way to do a variable substring extraction that will define the substrings dynamically.

If you make a third column in your Code Replacement file like so

s4      #4 Jolyn Beerepoot (SEW)         #4 Jolyn Beerepoot
v17    #17 Elise Aerts (Geonius/V&L)   #17 Elise Aerts

Then if you use the code replacement /v17#2/ it would return the shorter entry. You can add as many "alternate" code replacement columns as you need.

Another kludge that may help is using Find and Replace to remove " (Geonius/V&L)" from a whole series of images at once.

I hope this helps a little.

Mick, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I'm going to play around with your two suggestions which of the two works best for me.
Thanks Jaap.
