How do I check Animation Name minus a word/character?

Hi guys

I know you can do something like this ...

if Cats.AnimationName & "1" ... do something

is there a way I can check for Animation Name minus a character? For example ...

if Cats.AnimationName - "b" ... do something

Thank you heaps in advance!

This will give you animation name without the last character:

Left(AnimationName, len(AnimationName)-1)

If you know the string length, you can use fixed number:

Left(AnimationName, 5)

dop2000 - Thank you, you're a legend! It works perfectly :)

There is also replace or regexreplace expressions if you need something gone from the middle of a string. Just replace whatever with an empty string.
