Extract Only Certain Letters of a File Name

Questions & Suggestions
1

Hey Folks,

I'm sure this is easy but what would be the best way to get only certain letters of a file-name.

A little more detailed:

I have a strict name-format for my sequences. I would like to extract only the letters 5-9 out of it to paste it in a find-routine within my program.

Thanks,
Simon

You can use the Get Substring of action to do that. Have a look at the KM wiki action:Substring of Variable or Clipboard [Keyboard Maestro Wiki]
