Some plugins?

For limiting characters in EE5 you can use variable modifiers :length and :limit - https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/templates/variable-modifiers.html#length

Thanks Rob. That helps.

Is there anyway that I can have from a field i.e. [img src=”{filedirectory_1}photo_thumb.jpg” alt=”Alt_Text” ] only {filedirectory_1}photo_thumb.jpg?
