Substituting characters in a field?

Lange
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

Is it possible to create a calculation that will substitute some characters in a field and place the result in another field?

Example: Field 1 contains "larsson"

I would like to change occurences of "a" to "e" and "s" to "t", resulting in field 2= "lertton"

Get the idea?

Make the result field a calculation of Substitute( Substitute( Field1; "a"; "e" ); "s"; "t" ), nesting as necessary.
