Parsing out a string of Characters.

[75cl]

Is there a way that you can parse out a string of character like this 123333,44455566,99999,88888BC etc. and the number of characters are varies. Can you do a loop in Crystal report?.. Thank You in Advance

Yes you can do a loop and the function you need within the loop is Split(stringfield,delimiter). In your case the delimiter is the comma of course.

I have never done a loop in crystal but its there, look under help "For loops" and you'll find it.

When you get a solution please post or email me, I am very interested in it. I tried to do a loop in CR once and failed.

The trick to looping in CR is getting the FOR and STEP working together to tell it how many times to do the loop. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
