Hi Guys,

I have an array which has multiple items which are links.

I only want the first item from the array

Meaning first link

**Basically When I upload multiple files I need to be able to show the first image link as thumbnail. SO want to extract the first link from the multiple image column**

How can I do this?

Regards,  
Dilip
