How can i remove characters from a list?


Hi all…
This code block gives this result

As you can see there are mentioned time in this image hh:mm:ss

I simply want to remove all last three characters for both
“Planerad avgång” and “Estimerad avgång”

Instead of 17:19:56 i want to show 17:19 (hh:mm) for all departures comming up (This image show only 1…

Can someone advice?

Because you’re working with a time string that’s formatted as hh:ii:ss, the characters are fixed. All you need to do in this case is get the substring from character 1 to character 5.

… and thinking about it more, if your string isn’t consistent, you could create a list based on the “:” as a delimiter. Then extract the parts from the newly created list, and join them back together.

Either way should work, the second option my be better practice.

Hmmm - Thanks for trying. As you can see from the creation of the list item it is the actual list item that contains two separate time sequences. So i probably need this to happen before it goes into the list. Do you have any more suggestions? Or someone else?

Setup temp vars at the start of your loop to create the lists for the time strings you want to manipulate, and you’re good.
