How to modify the Card's title with a portion of the description's text with Automation

[Giancarlo Giuliano]

Hello,

I have a question.

When I add a new card on a list, I would like to change the title with part of the description which contains the name of the client.

For example, in the description (very long) I have the client's name in the middle, I would like to put it in the title, so i can read the name without open the card itself.

Example of the Title: Assegna a tecnico TKT: 02897214

Example of the text I would like to overwrite in title: 

Seriale:

260292268

I would like to parse out the text AFTER "Cliente:" and before - SIG.:.

Can anyone explain me how to do it? If using wildcards, can you explain WHERE should I write the conditions in the Trello free account?

Thanks!

Hi @Giancarlo Giuliano 

You can use regex for this. 

Bear in mind, you need to be sure that the text (including formatting) is consistent...

Automation:

when the description of a card contains "regex:/Cliente:\*\*\n\n(.*) - \*\*Sig/", rename the card to {cardname} - {wildcard1}

There is a help page on pattern matching and wildcards 

https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/pattern-matching-and-wildcards/ 

The regex support is a secret feature of automation that is shrouded in mystery 😁

Check out  https://regex101.com/ for more info and a test console. I also included regex in some of my articles...Check out this one:
