Replacing characters in field

Hi

I understand the concept of using subfield to help showing or hiding characters.

I have a bit more tricky  one

Say I have the follwing

1223867hrg.h345#IWantToSeeThisOnly#

what would be the best way to only see everything between the two # characters

May be try TextBetween() here:

TextBetween('1223867hrg.h345#IWantToSeeThisOnly#', '#', '#')

Thanks works well, but it you have 50 of these in a column, in one row the # is character 4, and in another its character 30 in the fields

I don't think distance between #s make any difference. Its just picking up everything between the two #s

If you want to do this on a field, you just need this:

TextBetween(FieldName, '#', '#') as NewFieldName

Have a look at this script:

Table:

LOAD *,

  TextBetween(FieldName, '#', '#') as NewFieldName;

LOAD * Inline [

FieldName
