Hello,

I have a single text field that has a full name listed. I wont use a people field because the people who will be listed aren't available in the people picker for my company. I want to be able to only show only  the first name in the send email part of my workflow so it can read Dear <first name>. In Excel I would just use a left formula, but never had to do this in Nintex and have never used a regular expression or inline function. I appreciate your help.

Hi.

If the name is Muntz Simon and you just want to capture Simon the the Regular expression would be:
w*$
