Extracting part of a layout name to use in a calculation

[brainonastick]

Hi there,

I have a database with groups of layouts that share the same keyword - e.g. Registrations is one layout, findRegistrations is another and there is RegistrationsList and editRegistrations. I want to create a conditional that is activated when it detects the keyword in the layout. So if  Get(layoutName) contains the word "Registrations", perform the conditional. I thought Filter or FilterValues might work but i can't seem to get it to do so. How do I extract the keyword? And is it case sensitive?

All advice gratefully received.

Try:

PatternCount ( Get ( LayoutName ) ; "Registrations" ) 
(is not case sensitive)

I would recommend you make your layouts names based on an Entity - Intent pair

• Registration - Form
• Registration - List
• Registration - Edit
• Registration - Find

Then you can do  LeftWords ( Get ( LayoutName ) ; 1 ) or RightWords ( Get ( LayoutName ) ; 1 ) for the entity / intent respectively
