textLength (Function): This returns the length of the text or numerical attribute
textSubStr (Function): This returns a text which is the substring of attribute, text, starting from index startIndex and ending at index endIndex.
Usage: Given a text attribute with the value “the quick sly fox jumped over the lazy dog.”
textSubStr(self.Text ,5,8) returns the value “quic”. You can also use this to extract a random set of numbers from a string and use that as a way to choose a unique question via table row number.

So it would be something like this: textSubStr(self.Text, 1, textLength(self.Text) - 1)
