Here is some Javascript which will extract the last three characters:

script>

var mystr = "Smith-123" ;

var num = mystr.substr(mystr.length - 3,3) ;

document.write(num);

</script>

Hope this helps.

I am trying to only display the three right three characters in a FMP field with CDML.

The field named "last_name_zip3" contains the value:

Smith-123

and I want to only display the right three characters on the web page with a CDML command/syntax (in this case the value is "123").

This would be similar to the "Right" command in a FMP calculation - as in Right(last_name_zip3, 3).

I can create a new field and put the value into that field, and then display that field, but I am trying to limit having to add another field to my database, which contains 5.5 million records...

Thanks,

Tony

... or make a calc field in the database Right(last_name_zip3, 3) and display this field.
