mid("Burchell, Stewart (SB12345)", 20, 7)

We will need more details in case you need a more flexible logic.

Then write an expression rule that takes two rule inputs:
1. the text you want to process - let's call this 'textToStrip'
2. the values you want removed from the above text - let's call this 'stripWithText'

Then your rule will look as follows:

fn!stripwith(
ri!textToStrip,
ri!stripWithText
)

This is now completely generic.

Thanks for the reply. But I'm looking to do that same thing but for any string of characters.

Yes, fn!stripwith() will do this:

fn!stripwith(
"w]orld/;:.txt",
"\ /; : â € œ | ? â € ™> <*]"
)

For example:

“w]orld/;:.txt” return us “world.txt”

Do you mean that you want a string that contains any of the above characters has those characters removed? For example: "ACB;DEF?GHI<" would become "ABCDEFGHI"? If so you can simply use the out-of-the-box function fn!stripwith()
