So I should most definitely know this by now, but its 4:30 and I'm burnt out right now so I'm having troubles. I wanna script something that includes using the substitute function to get rid of field names that were imported into a record. However, I can't even figure out how to use the substitute function as a script step. Any help?

Thanks

The substitute function can be used in a variety of calculations. In a field, with script steps like Set Field and Insert Calculated Result, or with a Replace function.

You can read the syntax of how it works in the application help.

But, I think we need to know more about what kind of problem you're trying to clean up. Usually an import will only import field names into the first record (if any), and deleting this record is all that's required.

well i'm importing from a txt file that was created by php programming (about which i know nothing because i did not write it, i am simply using the result of it)...but getting to the substitute function was the only part i needed. thanks ender
