Substracting strings?

Hello people!

I was just wondering if this approach is even possible.

All of the image paths in field are constant:

-----------fields---------------

ItemID: xxxxx

ImageName:xxxxx.jpg

Image_Path: M/xxxxx.jpg"]file://X:/images/M/xxxxx.jpg

--------------------------------

how to set field to the same string but altered?

c_Large_Image_Path: L/xxxxx.jpg"]file://X:/images/L/xxxxx.jpg

My inital though was to :

c_root= TrimRight((Image_Path - ImageName),3)

to produce a "root" value:

file://X:/images/

and then

c_final= (c_root & "M/" & ImageName)

but the problem is "subtracting text strings"

Anyone has ideas?

Much Obliged!

Hi Fishma!

Thanx for the post...I am sorry, the sample above just that....the actual path varies and is not constant. blush.gif

the "true" path is:

file://X:/images/LocationName/M/

where I have a few locations and are diff.

But, I managed to get it to work.

The idea here was to "open/View" larger image:

- without ever storing it in DB

- having it in the same root folder but only the "last folder" would differ.

- images are named the same

Here is how it worked out: attached image

Hi Fishma!

Thanx for the pointer!

Your way is much easier & quicker in "static" paths... nice move with SetFild!

Many thanx to Lee who also pitched in with this post! wink.gif
