I do development with both Japanese and English versions of Filemaker. I have noticed that in the English version the delimiter for a "word" can be any non-alphanumeric character. This is causing a problem because some time my data contains hyphens and other punctuation. This means that if the data in some_fields is "s-1-5-21 some more data) the text function leftwords(some_field, 1, 1) will return "s" instead of "s-1-5-21". In Japanese, the function will return the proper string but not in English. Is there a way around this?
