Here is a quick function that you can use to do what you want [function name=formatTN] [return][return][middle startAfter=-][tn][/middle]">[middle startAfter=-][tn][/middle][/return] [return][/return] [/function] Just put this function in your page on in an include file then call as follows: [formatTN tn=TN-3456] Will work for anything TN-XXXX Easy to tweak the function as needed without using grep.
