We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

Howdy. I'm getting a backslash at the beginning of the logon server. I don't know why, and need help resolving it. Here's my command:
ENVVAR=key:logonserver,text:Logon Server,display:%2
The value looks like this: \ServerName. I've tried to modify the command by adding [sub:1:1], but it didn't help.
Would really appreciate someone telling me what I'm doing wrong or suggesting an alternative. Thanks!

I notice when i look at the actual environment, it has two initial backslashes but DTI shows just one.
Howdy, Glenn! Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if it is possible to set a variable (e.g., %dcservername%) to the value produced by ENVVAR=key:logonserver,text:Logon Server,display:%2, then use TEXT=Logon Server,%dcservername%[sub:1:1], or something like that. I tried, but my brain couldn't figure it out.
You can use the regex option to eliminate the backslashes. I'm not the expert but I managed to make the following work:
ENVVAR=key:logonserver, regex:\\+, text:Logon Server, display:%2

that's an interesting thing. I just learned that Delphi is somehow removing one of the two backslashes as it displays the string, like it's being escaped. anyway, yes your idea will work as well.
ENVVAR=key:logonserver, text:Logon Server, display:%2[sub:3:100]
this is close to your original solution but not quite there...
Thanks for your replies and this great product! Both suggestions work great. Perfect!
The next release will make the second number optional so you can specify starting position through to the end of the text.
