That is a list of the characters you want to keep from the email adress when comparing to the original content.


Keepchar examples:


keepchar('bonjour','jour') = 'bon'


keepchar('Abcd123','123') = '123'


purgechar is the opposite, it define which characters should be removed :


purgechar('bonjour','jour') = 'jour'


purgechar('Abcd123','123') = 'Abcd'


Have a look in the help files. They have often good examples. As a  beginner though it is dificult to know "what" to search for. But if you search for "string functions" in the help, you will find a lot of useful functions.

Thank You Robert again, but i just want to know why you are using hyphen and underscore(-_) in the substring..

Oh, ok. Yes I added those because they are valid email characters and might exist, so they are needed for the comparison, in a general pupose. Perhaps they are not valid in your organization, if this is the case, just remove them.
