Devide a key

Hi all,

i build a "key" like ABC34_2324_234234234.

Now I want to devide it like:

ABC34

2324

234234234


I did this with left(key, 5) as Key 1

etc.


I wanted to ask if it is possible to devide by using "_" so that the lenght of each key doesn't matter.


Thank you fpr helping!

Try to use Subfield...

You can use the function SubField() e.g.

SubField(Key,'_',1)

SubField(Key,'_',2)

SubField(Key,'_',3)

Hi,

Try using the SubField function. Something like this:

Key1 = SubField( key,'_')

Something I just learned recently.


With this function you can even pull out the next field as in:

Key2 = SubField( key,'_',2)

Hope this is what you need!
