Code / Description
initialnumber:= "0:1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9";
expnum:=@Explode(initialnumber;":");
FIELD test:=@texttonumber(expnum*+expnum*+expnum);
Usage / Example
I used it in one of the places like this:
Assume you have a field by name e_txt_fieldlist , allow multivalues with follwoing values:
"partha":"test":"testanother"
this formula would number each of the items...
@If(e_txt_fieldlist="";@Return(@Prompt([OK]; "Error Message"; "No Value found to modify"));@Success);
D:= "0:1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9";
F:=@Explode(D;":");
List:=@Subset(@TextToNumber(F*+F*+F);-999);
listofElements := @Subset(@Text(list);@Elements(e_txt_fieldlist));
lineitem := @Prompt([OKCANCELLIST] : [NoSort];"Alert"; "Select the title you wish to modify";"";listofelements + ". " +e_txt_fieldlist);lineitem
