    Hi Guys

    How would I return a substring from a string in field value into a new field?

    Delimiter is coma , .. so return string before comma

    EG
    #Fieldname1 contains string “I need to do this, but don’t know how”
    Return substring “I need to do this” into #Fieldname2

    Its probably a little javascript but I’m not too familiar with that.

    Thanks Guys

    Hello,

    You simply should insert a calculated field in the form, and enter as its equation the following piece of code:

    (function(){
return (new String(fieldname1)).split(',')[0];
})()

    If you need additional help implementing your project, I can offer you a custom coding service from my private website:
