Not sure what you are doing and there may be better ways of achieving the desired functionality, however you need to look at the following functions to achieve what you ask. StrStr - Finds string/char in a string Substr - Returns a string from a string From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brien Dieterle Sent: 22 September 2008 18:51 To: [email protected] Subject: split a field and loop on each piece ** Hello list, here's another one for ya. I'm working with field 112 on a form, that may contain one userID, or it might contain a bunch (like 'user1'; 'user2'; 'user3'), etc. I want to loop over all of these records, and then loop on each userID within field 112 (loop in a loop?) and do something with the UserID (In this case, add the user to a group) I've done table looping before, but I have no idea where to begin to loop over a split field. First of all, how would I split this field into pieces (individual userIDs) and then act on each? I've looked through the functions and nothing seems equivalent to unix's "cut" command for pulling a field based on a delimiter, nor a way to keep repeating an action until the field is processed. I am strongly considering just abandoning the Field 112 anyway, and using an entire form just for storing the UserID to Parent. Then at least I can just loop over that form and forget about the field splitting... Thanks for any ideas.
