Hello Chuggers,

Any help on this would be awesome. I am currently pulling into a VFE form a data display with DOCUMENT.VISITID. Our value in the visitID field looks something like this: 600002142.500002029. In the data display I only want it to show the part after the period. So, I only want to see 500002029.

Can anyone share with me how to grab just part of this string?

Thanks,

Crystal

This is a little messy, but it might work.

{sub( DOCUMENT.VISITID , match(DOCUMENT.VISITID,"."), size(DOCUMENT.VISITID)- match(DOCUMENT.VISITID,"."))}

You may want to add some error checking if document.visitid is blank.

{sub( DOCUMENT.VISITID , match(DOCUMENT.VISITID,".")+1, size(DOCUMENT.VISITID)- match(DOCUMENT.VISITID,"."))}

Edit to get rid of the decimal point.

The way I would normally handle this is by splitting it on the period.
local arrVisitId = getfield(DOCUMENT.VISITID, ".", "") return arrVisitId[2]
