Creation method#

There are two options for creating Text Fragment node.#

  • The first way to create Text Fragment node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • sub , delete , trim , cut
  • The second way is to select Text Fragment node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Text > Text Fragment

Steps#

  • Create Text Fragment node.
  • Connect the base text to operate the first port.
  • Connect the start index of the first character to copy to the second port.
  • Connect the optional count of characters to copy to the third port.

After creating a node, to the first port, connect the base text to operate on. Connect the start index of the first character to copy to the second port, and the optional count of characters to copy to the third port. If the optional count is blank, the entire remainder will be copied. On the output port, we will get the resulting text fragment.
