Hi Plugboard Experts:

I am hoping you could help me modify my plugboard so that I can get information that will display fully on my kindle. I currently have the following plugboard:

{tags} - #purchased1 - {#stripped_series:lookup(.\s,#initials,.,#shortene d,series)}{series_index:0>2s| [|] } - {title}

I would like to keep the following plugboard except I would like to be able to set it up so that only the first three letters of the custom column #purchased1 displays. I tried to follow the setup for the stripped series but I am completely lost and I think I've messed something else. Can someone help me set up the shortened #purchased1 column??
