Need help with Simple Problem

[andrewst 1]

I'm trying to get on the 'stuff1' portion from a string that looks like

 

stuff1/stuff2/stuff3

 

No matter what I do, I end up with 2 elements/groups of stuff1/ and stuff2/

 

I'd like just

 

stuff1

 

to be returned

 

(.*?)(\/) is what I use that returns two sets, including the / I don't want

 

Thanks in advance!

set(#tempfortesting, "stuff1/stuff2/stuff3", "Global")

 

add list to list(%mylist, $list from text(#tempfortesting, "/"), "Delete", "Global")

set(#varItem0, $list item(%mylist, 0), "Global")

set(#varItem1, $list item(%mylist, 1), "Global")

set(#varItem2, $list item(%mylist, 2), "Global")

 

...aso
