String Stripping

[ms310]

I am having quite a time doing something simple - I have a string with three values in it separated by commas in a String Meter - I want to strip away the first comma and everything after it.

String Value is Nagoya, 23, Japan

Code: Select all

[WeatherLocation]
Group=Weather
Meter=String
MeterStyle=MeterStyleText
MeasureName=MeasureWeatherLocation
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute=([^,]+)
X=[WeatherTemperature:X]
DynamicVariables=1

Result: Nagoya, 23, Japan

Desired Result: Nagoya

Thanks for your help with this simple, simple problem.

There is no way to use a substitution on meters. They can be used ONLY on measures. So, move the RegExpSubstitute and the Substitute options to the [MeasureWeatherLocation] measure.
Besides this, the Substitute is wrong as you've written it. Try the following one: Substitute="^(.*), (.*), (.*)$":"\1".

Sorry for my delayed response. Thank you very much.
