RE: Help with extracting text

Show all headers | View raw

Hi
I've got a ceckbox set field that displays values from 2 fields in my
lookup table.
Fled 1 the code number and field 2 the text description of that.  It
displays them next to one another for exmaple:
01 Apple
02 Banana
I've already got a scripted button that when 01 and 02 are checked and
my button is clicked 01 and 02 are copied to my specified field.  This
is done using leftwords calculation funciton for 01 and Middlewords
calculation function for 02 and onwards in the list.

How can I extract the text description bit?  Is there a way to do
this?
e.g. 01 and 02 are checked then another scripted button is clicked and
the words, apple and banana are copied to my other specified field.

The text description field containing values apple and banana for
example, is the tick box for the checkbox set field "Also display
values from Second field" if this makes any difference to the
solution?!  And the code number is the first "use values from field
bit".

Hope you can help.
I'm working towards an awesome solution!

Many Thanks
jay
