Hello - I am trying to build a string that converts Full Name to Username. For example I have John Smith in a field and would like to extract jSmith. What should be the correct syntax?
Build String Action - username from full name

+7Hi,
If you use a combination of a Regular expression to split based on space character and then fn-Substring('your text',1,1) to get the first character in a Build string action you should be fine.

Use Regular expression action:
^(.)[^ ]* (w+)$
- ^ assert position at start of the string
- 1st Capturing group (.)
- . matches any character (except newline)
- [^ ]* match a single character not present in the list below
- Quantifier: * Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
- the literal character
- matches the character literally
- 2nd Capturing group (w+)
- w+ match any word character [a-zA-Z0-9_]
- Quantifier: + Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed [greedy]
- w+ match any word character [a-zA-Z0-9_]
- $ assert position at end of the string
