wattmhite Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi All, I'm familiar with the middle words function but I'm looking to separate individual letters. I have a table with values the first 2 letters of which I do not need. I'm looking to create a field or function that skips the first 2 letters and displays everything after the first 2 letters. Is this possible or is the middle words the only way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruceR Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Then you want the Middle function. I think that Comment provided exactly the answer you wanted recently here. But maybe that was somebody else; or over in a different forum. Anyway: https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/help/16/fmp/en/#page/FMP_Help%2Fmiddle.html Middle Purpose Extracts the specified numberOfCharacters from text, starting at the specified character position. Format Middle(text; start; numberOfCharacters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
