Hey. Happy Monday!
So, my use case is the following.
I have a variable that is captured from another system. Let’s say INFO123.
I want to create a call triggered by this system informing two things:
1 - the code itself (INFO123)
2 - what I want to have removed (INFO)
So, I would expect this:
If the call has “INFO123” and “INFO”, the original system should receive back 123.
If the call has “INFO 123” and “INFO”, the original system should receive back 123.
If the call has “INFO” and “INFO,” the original system should receive back empty or something that represents anything other than INFO was found.
I tried to do this with the AI as a helper. But it didn’t. But because it said I would need to use PARSER, I am here. 
Any help?

You can use the built-in function replace
e.g.:
{{replace("INFO123"; "INFO"; emptystring)}}

Very interesting, @samliew. Thanks for your reply.
A few questions I have. I hope you can help me.
I create the following scenario. The idea is to send the outcome back to Manychat.
I hope it’s the best approach.
Questions:
I want to cover INFO123, INFO 123 and Info123.
When I use your suggestion with these examples, I get:
- 123
- _123
(where _ is a space)
- Info123 (no cleaning at all)
Ideas for me?
