String.Keep (reverse of String.Remove)

[s.bosch]

Hi, is it possible to keep first characters of a string?

It the reverse of String.Remove

In put = CN_Blok-1_Voorgevel )
Out put = CN_Blok-1

Is your desired string always the same length? If so you could do something like so:

@s.bosch you could also consider extracting a substring

for people who like excel’s LEFT/RIGHT/MID string functions:

LEFT, MID, RIGHT function from EXCEL in Dynamo?

The “String.Substring” node will do that for you. Here’s a quick example that replicates LEFT and RIGHT: [2016-04-15_11-39-20]   MID is self-explanatory.

I’m sure there is a more elegant way to do this, but it seems more straightforward than counting characters or manipulating strings.
