David Santiso	Friday 18 March 2011 2:11:13 pm Yes, but in my case I'm trying to extract part of a string obtained from an attribute of "text area" datatype. If I put: {set-block variable=$attribute} {attribute_view_gui attribute=$var.data_map.description} {/set-block} ... {$attribute\|extract( 0, 10) } There is no result, but out of position the rest of the template imformation. If I put a smaller length: ... {$attribute\|extract( 0, 3) } Shows strange characters as "> !".
Theodoros Papageorgiou	Saturday 19 March 2011 1:08:41 pm Using the attribute_view_gui function you also iclude the formated output of the attribute level template in your string. Since you need the raw output of a Text block datatype you could try something like this: {$var.data_map.description.content\|extract(0,10)} However, if you are using an XML block datatype you also need output.output_text and strip the tags from your text with the PHP strip_tags operator.
