Add more text to linked block attribute

[Anonymous]

Hello

I am able to link the value of one block to a second block using the Fields, Object method using the method shown at http://www.archidigm.com/Coverpage/cover4-08/lounge-set_link_values.htm.

What I seek is guidance on how to add/remove text from the source block attribute before it is placed in the second block. The source block attribute text is "V7000". What I want in the second block is only the number "7000".  I also have the requirement to append text to the source block attribute,i.e, the value "V7000" becomes "7000B".

I found a reference to using computed fields without sufficient explanation on how to achieve this. I have explored using Diesel and was unable to figure out just how to modify the text. 

Kindly assist with a link or detailed explanations.

regards

Paul

Fields:

Impossible, you can link the full string of an attribute only with field.

(Diesel-Fields can´t nesting other fields)

Workaround: Change SourceBlock from Att1="7000B" to Att1 "7000" and att2 "B", then you can link to Att1 and the field show the full string "7000"

From V7000 to 7000B => Search for Lispcode to change Attribute Values
