The 6th 7th & 8th characters from that WALL TYPE. Currently I'm using 3E as a wall type example. I may need 3E1 in the future.

 

%wall_type% returns "Wall 3E to roof", all my wall type names in this project start with "Wall xx ......."

I want the label on the wall to display in plan view as "3E"

Try using %wall_type.split(" ")[1]%

If your wall type is always formatted as shown, using split(" ") will create an array with each word separated by the space. Then the "[1]" selects the item from the array which starts at 0. If the formatting stays the same, this will extract the second part regardless of length.
