Hi

Is it possible to have an expression in stimulsoft where you pass through a string, seperated by spaces ,to be split by the first letter of each word inside the string?

This is to gather the initials from first names.

For example;
My string is Alfa Bravo Charlie
I want the expression to return:
A B C

My C# knowledge is very limited

Thank you

Hello,

As a way, you can use Regex: Thank you.

Code: Select all

{System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(YourValue, @"[^A-Z,\W]", "")}

Thank you.

Thank you for the response.

Using that expression my string is returned:

ALFABRAVOCHARLIE

Instead of A B C

Hello,

We have checked:

Thank you.

Hi Thank you, i see it's working with that example.

I noticed my string's values will always be in UPPER case, hence not working 100% for me.

Can the expression be amended to cater for uppercase characters inside the string? My current result for ALFA BRAVO CHARLIE returns: ALFABRAVOCHARLIE

Hello,

You can change regex pattern as you needed for your incoming string:
