These blocks are under Advanced > Text. Note that the segment block takes indexes starting at 0, instead of 1 like most of the other places in SmartBuilder. We may correct this in the future, but I'm not sure how many people are using it in its current state, so we may just leave it. (see solution 2).</li></ol><br />Hope that helps!Navdeep Dhillon2026-07-22T17:46:10ZParse a variable to manipulate punctuationJulie Longshorehttps://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&messageId=6928982026-07-22T02:59:09Z2026-07-22T02:59:09ZI have added a "-" between words from a variable but it adds one after the final word, how do I not have that final "-" display?Julie Longshore2026-07-22T02:59:09Z
