Field LOGIN - can I change content of it...?

[cessares]

Hi.

As a default field LOGIN dispaly my full name and surname - I would like to modify it to display only my initial - is it possible in AC LT 2015?

Regards...

I suppose you could use a diesel expression.  You'll have to modify this to work for you.

$(substr,$(getvar,loginname),1,1)$(substr,$(getvar,loginname),6,1)

My first name is 5 characters long so the 6,1 gets the first initial of my last name.

Hi. How do I use this diesel expression - never heared it? Does it work in LT?

When writing text right-click and select Insert Field. Under Field names select DieselExpression. Paste the diesel code in the box on the right.

Yes.

Thanks for that....but - see picture 😕

Where can I find dieles expressions? I think I can make use of them in the future...

I don't have LT to test, but what happens if you just type in Loginname at the command line?

[cessares]

Command: LOginname
Unknown command "LOGINNAME". Press F1 for help.

Fck! 🙂

I'm out of ideas on that.  Someone with more LT knowledge will have to chime in.

No option for login 😕

LT is LT

Diesel works on file name, I can extract what I want from it - how to dispaly CAPITAL LETTERS insted lowercases?

You can use the UPPER function in the diesel expression.  Check the help files for proper syntax.
