Is there a way to just use part of a bar code or OCR value? For example, extract “50” from the value “124450”

Please refer to the Wiki Documentation for the complete Bar Code Recognition reference.

To do this example, create a barcode field (Field 1 for example) and a 2nd field with type “Fixed”. In the template for the 2nd field, enter %FIELD1[5,2]% to get “50” from “124450”.

%FIELD1% would get the entire value for Field #1, the barcode field. By adding the [5,2] you tell SimpleIndex to start at the 5th character (5) and take 2 characters from the value (50).
