Can I do string manipulation in the template code? I’m using Zapier Integration and I wish to do the following:
input filename: prefix\_name-suffix.jpg
I want to split the name of my file so I can use the prefix as a folder, and delete the -suffix.
Is that possible?

Hello, string manipulation isn’t a native feature of our API. This could be achieved, however, through the use of [Assembly Variables](https://transloadit.com/docs/#assembly-variables) and one of our [SDKs](https://transloadit.com/docs/#group-software-development-kits). Zapier does have a way to [integrate code](https://zapier.com/apps/code/help), so potentially you could create a way to manipulate your strings, but I’m not familiar with that feature.
