remove claim and domain from current user

[lgiambar]

I have a people picker field (called EmployeeName) in my form that brings in the current users preferred name. I then have a calculated value field that matching EmployeeName to bring in the user name. However the user name comes in with the claim token and domain name when all I want is the user name. I have tried different options in the replace function of the calculated value field and I am close but cant get rid of the |\ does anyone know how to do this??

I tried using replace(EmployeeName, "i:0#.w|admhn\", "") but with the last backslash, nothing will load at all! When I remove the last backslash i get the |\ left.

Use the formula: subString(replace(EmployeeName,"i:0#.w|domain",""),2,length(replace(EmployeeName,"i:0#.w|domain","")))

you have to escape these characters since they are given special meaning.

use

replace(EmployeeName, "i:0#.w\\|admhn\\\\", "") ‍
