I have a script that exports an image file from a container. The filename is created fron a couple fields, the last of which contains short notes and in some cases there may be return characters. The filename falls apart at the returns as you may have guessed. I was hoping someone could tell me how to replace returns in a field with another character?

Thanks

Substitute ( LastField ; ¶ ; "another character" )

Is there a script step that will accomplish the same?

More than one, but your probably best starting with Set Field, place the above substitute function in the calculated result.

My preference would be to set a variable with the contents of the field, then parse out the "¶" in the variable before tacking it onto the file name.

???Why the redundancy of messing with a variable, and what do you mean by tacking?

Never mind, misread, thought you were setting field, not an export parameter.

The field in question is a notes field. I would like to keep the format of the notes field as is including the "¶"s.

Set Variable [ $var ; Value: Substitute ( LastField ; ¶ ; "another character" ) ]

Just what I needed. Thank you. It is working perfectly.
