Automation Anywhere "Formula" Shortcuts

Hey-

I’ve noticed that I can convert a string to a number or vice versa using syntax like this:

$YourStringVariable.String:toNumber$

I find this useful because it saves the conversion step in the interface.  I was interested to know if anyone else has suggestions for more of this type of stuff where I can use shorthand or “formula-ish” language in place of the interface?

For example…..stuff like this:

Can I split a string and get the position of X element in one “formula”?

Can I string out specific text based on start and end in one “formula”…. rather than the clunky interface?

Basically common shortcuts to cut out additional steps…..
