Action to only change the first two characters of a variable

How could I change the first 2 characters of a variable to be the characters ‘CC’ without touching the rest…?

Many thanks and Merry Christmas

You can use a "Search and Replace" action using a regular expression, like this:

Here's the Regular Expression itself:

^.{2}

Explanation:

^     Match at the start of the string
.     Match any character (except newline characters)
{2}   Modifier for ".", meaning match two characters

Could also be written:

^..

###Alternative method:


Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more explanation.
