Trimming text from a tag Options

[smb]

Tying to trim the text within the parenthesis (xxxxxxxx)

or.......move it to the second line.

I've tried following the text formatting examples on the wiki, but I'm missing
something.

I use this one, it accounts for the rare cases were %field% starts with a '(':

$ifgreater($strchr(%field%,'('),0,$left(%field%,$sub($strchr(%field%,'('),2)),%field%)

The simpler version is:

$left(%field%,$sub($strchr(%field%,'('),2))

By the way, it appears that you are using $strchr(%field%,')'), thus the undesired result.

sorry, probably need some further explaining.

the text in question is formatted as such

$tab()%title%$tab()$char(10)

the parenthesis test is part of the title.

I'm using the item detail window

Try

$tab()$left(%title%,$sub($strchr(%title%,'('),2))$tab()$char(10)

Try

$tab()$left(%title%,$sub($strchr(%title%,'('),2))$tab()$char(10)
