Trucating a job name to use in email subject

Being a Newbie I hope somebody can help.

I have a file attached to an email.

It's name being AA_1234567_BBBBBB_CCCCCCC.pdf

I'd like the subject matter to be 1234567

How do I truncate [Job.Name] ??

Thanks for any help

There are multiple ways depending on if the file name parts do or do not change length. Index, segment or regular expressions

Hi. Thanks for the response. The part before the first "_" does not change. Also the 1234567 does not change length. Therefore I'd be looking to somehow truncate from the beginning.

In variables window select Job->NameProper and use segment "4-10"

Thanks. I'll give that a go.
