Finding a word in a variable lenght string - help needed.

Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:43:39 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way in order to identify a specific word within a string. The string that is loaded is a variable lenght string and within that string it contains a country name. I am trying to script out some code to check if a specific country name exists. I have tried to play around with the functions but I am unable to make it work. Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks.

Roberto

You could try Wildmatch:

Flag:

If(Wildmatch(Field,'*Country*'),1,0) as Flag

Result:

If(Wildmatch(Field,'*Country*'),Field) as Result
