Hello, 

 

I am new to IForm and am looking for some help.

I am trying to get a sub string from a barcode. I currently have this setup as a number field on the form (barcode). I then need to do the following

1. Get the first 6 numbers out of this field and call them "Order Number"

2. Get the next 3 numbers and call them "Qty"

3. Get the next 2 number and call them "Line"

 

I tried creating a number field called order_number and include (barcode.substring(0,2)) in the Dynamic Value but it didnt work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Brent,

  Welcome to iForm. When using the barcode you probably need to make sure you're manipulating the raw scanned value. If `barcode` is the name of your scanning element then try using `barcode.raw.substring(0,2)`. Check out this article for more details on the Manatee element: https://iformbuilder.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201715214-Classic-Builder-Manatee-Element

  Hope it helps!
