I want to build calculated field from a user input field that is a text field.

Now this calcuated field is later used in a relation and a value list.

How can i easily remove all of the word delimeters ( . , ;, etc etc)

For example when the user fills in "monkey,car.house garden"

i want it to be monkeycarhousegarden.

Should i use mutiple subsititue statements.

The other question is : where can i find the list of word delimiters ?

Thanks

Oh yes ; still working wih F 5.5

You will need to "gang" the Substitute Function. For each delimeters, you will need to have one Substitute( one set of Find and Replaces. Something like this should do it.

Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(TextField,

"/" , ""),

"." , "" ),

"," , "" ),

";" , "" ),

"-" , "" )
