Use part of layout name in attribute

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can someone point me, or write, field expression so that i can achieve this:

Name of layout: XXXX "1/3" 
Attribute: 1/3

I've been looking around and didnt saw anything familiar.

Thanks in advance for help.

Hi @Anonymous 

As far as I know, you cannot enter characters like / \ ? : " ; * <> and few more characters in layout name. May I ask how you have entered the "1/3" in the layout name? Can you share a snapshot of the same?

Sorry, I didnt check that. I just made up scenario. It could be any kind of numeration for distinguishing lets say "This is drawing one out of three." like Drawing 1.3 .. 

How should i edit field expression to achieve that?

The layout name is contained in the system variable CTAB. Look for the system variables under the fields list dropdown on the left.

It's not exactly what you are talking about but a diesel expression is probably what you are after.
