Newbies markf Posted February 21, 2006 Newbies Posted February 21, 2006 If field one begins with a capital letter and field two begins with a lowercase letter, (the sentence was split into two) how do I search to find all field two's that begin with lowercase and join them back up with field one and leave all field two's that begin in uppercase alone?.
Raybaudi Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 This is the calc that you have to apply to a [color:red]copy of your DB. 1)Insert the cursor into the field1 2)Records --> Replace Field Contents... --> Replace with calculated result: --> Specify Case ( Length ( Filter ( Left ( field2 ; 1 ) ; "ABCDEFGHJKILMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" ) ) ; field2 ; field1 & " " & field2 ) Remember to do this to a [color:red]COPY of your DB

Raybaudi Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 A little typo: Case ( Length ( Filter ( Left ( field2 ; 1 ) ; "ABCDEFGHJKILMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" ) ) ; [color:red]field1 ; field1 & " " & field2 )
