How to add characters to GetFieldSelections string

Hi All,

I'd like to use GetFieldSelections to get a list of values selected in a field. However, given the values are in the following format, it's challenging to separate out values when more than one name is selected:

LAST NAME, FIRST NAME MIDDLE INITIAL

Example with multiple values:

DOE, JOHN A, DOE, JANE B

I'd like to further separate values so that these are easier to read. Also, not all values have a comma. For example, there may be the value UNKNOWN.

Can I use GetFieldSelections with another function to format this list so that it's easier to read?

I.e. Add in numbers

(1) DOE, JOHN A, (2) DOE, JANE B

Or use value other than comma to separate values

DOE, JOHN A / DOE, JANE B

Thanks!

Kristina

The syntax for GetFieldSelections is:

GetFieldSelections ( field_name [, value_sep [, max_values]])

You can use ,'/' for the value_sep argument.
