Tokens for Modifying Strings
Modifier Tokens allow you to extract information or manipulate other tokens, texts or data strings.

{mid,n,m,str}

{right,n,str}
Extracts the last n characters from str (which can be a string or token). | {right,2,filename} for D:\Photos\image1.jpg will give: e1
{field,n,str}
Extracts the nth field from str. Fields are separated by space, period, hyphen, slash, backslash or underscore characters. eg: {field,2,filename} for D:\Photos\IMG_0001.jpg will give: IMG
{first,str}

{last,str}
Extracts the last word from str (which can be a string or token). {last,%L} for an image taken “Monday, January 17, 2015” will give: 2015
{upper,str}
Converts str to upper case eg: {upper,%B} for a photo taken in June gives: JUNE
{lower,str}

{capitalize,str}
Converts str to lower case and capitalizes the first letter eg: {capitalize,john} gives John
{default,str1,str2}
Returns str1 unless it is an empty string in which case it returns str2 (str1 and str2 can be strings or tokens). eg: {default,1,2} returns 1 p(hr). {default,,2} returns 2
{if,test,str1,str2}
Returns str1 if test contains any text except 0 else returns str2 (test, str1 and str2 can be strings or tokens). eg {if,1,2,3} returns 2 p(hr). {if,0,2,3} returns 3 p(hr). {if,,2,3} returns 3
{compare,str1,str2}
Returns 1 if str1 is the same as str2 else returns an empty string eg: {compare,photo,photo} returns 1 p(hr). {compare,photo,image} returns empty string
{urlencode,str}
Encodes str so that it can be used as a parameter in a URL e.g. when providing a URL for a microsite. eg: https://yoursite.com/viewer.php?id={urlencode,my name} gives https://yoursite.com/viewer.php?id=my%20name
{tinyUrl,str}
Converts a URL to a shortened version using tinyurl.com eg: https://breezesys.com/BreezeBooth/betatest.htm → https://tinyurl.com/ycnmcn8n
