     Posted: 22 Sep 2011 at 10:33pm
I have around 300 part numbers I need to pull from a database, for example:

HIRK-433A
HIRK-433AQ1363

Is there away to not show parts with Q1363 or any Q number between 1 and 5000?

Also is there away of removing the decimal point when pulling out prices, in order to display in pence?

Thanks

1) in the filter expression, I would try
local numbervar ind := instr({table.field}, "Q", 4);  //starts looking for Q after the 4th position (just in case)
local numbervar res;
if ind > 0 then (
  res := cint(mid({table.field}, i + 1));
  if res >= 1 and res <= 5000 then
    false
   else
     true;
)
else
  true
 
 
2) multiply the price by 100(or whatever valus is needed) in a formula and display the result

Hi Lockwelle,

Unfortunately it seems to ask for a string at cint.

Just trying some basic code, where {table.field} like %Q1% but that wont even bring up any parts for example 008-433FQ1847

Thanks

the Mid() returns a string...you can also do totext({table.field},0,"") to turn your number into a string if that is needed.
 
LIKE in the formulas uses * and ? for the wildcards, not %
...you can also use instr() for like...if the value >0 then it is 'like', not quite as robust...
