Get Information From File Name

[simply_me]

Hi,

I have a somewhat general question, is it possible to extract certain "elements" from a file name?

For example: x0 xxx abc 123 xx xxxx.avi (or any type txt, jpg, and etc...).

Assuming that the "abc" is constant throughout the files but the digits are changing (not sequential), can I extract just the "abc 123" (or whatever number it is)?

I know how to strip/build path, but here I don't know what to search since the distance from the beginning is changing and the digits are changing.

Thank you,

There are several string function that allow you to search for a string, and  break the string into several parts.

Another option is using Regular Expression, yours sound like "abc/s[0-9]{3}", that should return the "abc 123" part.

There are dedicated search functions for strings that you should investigate. This is a basic LabVIEW task.
