How do I get a specific **string** among the others

Is it possible to get a specific letter or number in a string type value?

Example:

Retrieve LayoutName (Which is 1ABCDx2) and get x2, or AB, or 1, etc.

It's easy for numbers but for string I don't even know if it's possible.

This page is your very best friend (and mine too - any time a question about manipulating some values pops up there's a good chance the answer is there): https://www.scirra.com/manual/126/system-expressions

If you wanna check for that string in the name you can use:

find(LayoutName, string)

ex: find("1ABCDx2", "x2") would return 5.

If you wanna get the string from the name you can use one of the expressions below:

left(LayoutName, count)

right(LayoutName, count)

mid(LayoutName, index, count)

ex:

left("1ABCDx2", 1) would return "1".

right("1ABCDx2", 2) would return "x2".

mid("1ABCDx2", 1, 2) would return "AB".

And you could even use both together:

mid("1ABCDx2", find("1ABCDx2", "A"), 2) would return "AB".
