Sorry for the bad English ... When exporting a file, I want it deleted from the file name from a character / example to the end of the file name. That is, the file names: 001 Algebra / Eighth Grade Lesson 002 Engineering Class / 5th Grade 003 Accounting Lesson / 6th Grades I want it deleted after the check / And the result will be: 001 Algebra 002 Engineering Class 003 Accounting Lesson What should I define? By the way, do not want to rename the file, only in the export file. Thanks!! ---

Thank you very much for the response. I do not want to rename the file, just know what code to write in the export file. As a follow-up to this: ```auto $filename(M1036-1.tts,utf-8) $loop(%year%,1) $cutLeft(%_filename%,4) $replace(%track%,01,1,02,2,03,3,04,4,05,5,06,6,07,7,08,8,09,9). $loopend() ``` Thank you! ---

> [@yankl](#): > > `$cutLeft(%_filename%,4)` You want this part to be changed to something that only write the file names until the first `/` character? ---
