Jokez Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Hi I was wondering how you can find a pattern in text ONLY from the begining of the text. I have for example the string 3.1.1 and I want it to say "true" when matching with the string 3.1.1.23.43.5 but NOT with string 5.4.3.1.1.43.5.3 how can you do this in Filemaker Calculation?

comment Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Try: Position ( text ; searchString ; 1 ; 1 ) = 1 or: Left ( text ; Length ( searchString ) ) = searchString Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
