K1200 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Would anyone happen to know of a simple way to test that a field actually has some printable characters in it -- and not just blanks, tabs, carriage returns and the like. I'd like to be able to set a Yes/No indicator when the field is "occupied". Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi formatting as Boolean a calculation field with calc: Lenght ( Field ) > Lenght ( Filter ( Field ; "blank, tab, carriage return and the like" ) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I believe I understand what you mean. So the check would be: If (Length (Table::TextField) > Length (Filter(Table::TextField ; Char(9) & Char(13) & Char(32))) And then I would need to expand the character list to include any other non-printing codes that I encounter. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
