Is there a way to omit characters in strings when you use DIESEL macros for example: if I request a system variable i.e $(getvar,"dwgname") I want to able to display "mydrawing" instead of "mydrawing.dwg" thus eliminating whatever number of characters I need to eliminate. I know this can be done trough lisp, can lisp be combined with DIESEL? I have a plot stamp rtex that I need to tweak. TIA Netrouter
